It will... but if your husbandry skills are less than the best, additional flow will help overcome this...
you can also change out your carbon for CPE (carbon with gfo in it)

Boyd Chemi Pure Elite
Chemi-pure Elite formula now contains ferric oxide, that helps remove slime and PO4 (phosphates)

So I have this algae at the top on the sand. It's brown colored and I can pretty much peel it off. What should I do? I just did a eater change yesterday.

So I have to many hours of light? Currently have it on from 12 pm til 9 pm. Also I feed every other day and only have one fish so I feed very little.

So the back wall of my tank is full of bubble algae as seen in pic. I was looking closely today and noticed that between the algae and wall some things were moving.
I have no idea what they are. They look like tiny see through shrimp and seem to be fighting. Anyone know what these are??? U can't see in the pic obviously.

Most do 3 days, I believe. I just cut my lights down to 4 hours a day and continually suction it out when I had a problem with cyano.
Hello mate, great start. How long have you been seeing the Cyanobacteria? Lights out will fix it short term but you need to work out what is the root cause. How long do you have your lights on for a day? What are you phosphate levels? Over feeding can be a cause too. People say a high flow will help but you often see it growing on powerheads so I disagree with this. Keep doing regular water changes and manually remove / siphon out as much as possible.
