2months quite new. Common to have algae bloom. Most likely caused by the nutrient from left over food. Maybe you should cut down on feeding a little bit?

Hahah i dont do any feeding, took out the fishes due to itch and a spike in nitrate. So i'm trying to keep it stable before adding in anything else. I'll try to take down the nitrate, hopefully it helps the algae problems too.

Don't think boiling the water remove the chlorine?

it does remove chlorine. chlorine has a very low boiling point and will simply evaporate upon boiling. But im not so sure about the other harmful substances though.
