    We don't usually do that. You can use a gravel washer to siphon off the dirt without removing the substrate.

    Are you keeping a planted aquarium?
    , we cannot prevent algae from growing, they are always there. We have to control their growth through:

    1. Sufficient CO2
    2. Proper lights
    3. Balance of nutrients, eg, liquid fertilizers
    4. Proper maintenance of filters
    5. Regular water change

    The tank is a system that consists of several factors, in a balance environment. It is difficult to comment by only looking at one factor.
