Hi you guys!

I recently moved my RES to a different, bigger tank in a new apartment. I replaced everything: new basking dock, new filter, new lights, etc.

Since about two weeks ago, I've gotten a terrible algae bloom. The water is murky green. It doesn't smell bad or anything, and stanley seems OK -- no changes in appetite, his shell looks healthy, still loves to bask and swim -- but how do I get rid of the algae and make sure it doesn't return? I've tried finding advice online, but nothing seems satisfactory.

I'd greatly appreciate your collective wisdom and insight on this matter.
