What color are the bulbs??? How old are they?? They may be contributing to your algae!!!

probably phosphates coupled with old bulbs. reduce feed, increase flow, change bulbs, get a phosban reactor.
just my 2 cents.

Water changes and bulb changes. Figure out a way to combat your phosphates - either feed less, grow macro in a fuge, big water changes, or phosban.
