Green spot and ????? Algae –what is not right?

Hello. Here is some pics of my problem. What is it and how I can fix it.
40gal Long. Light 1x6700K 32W,1x8000K 32W fluorescent on 4h, off 4h, on 4h
Temperature 77F,Eheim 2217, UV sterilizer – on for 10h night time.
Ferts-PPS Pro every day before light comes on.
I use to have air stone ON for 9h night time but there was high PH fluctuation and I stop it 3 days ago.
PH -6,5-6,8 , KH 6 , gKH 7 , Nitrite 0 , Ammonia 0 , Nitrate 20ppm , Phosphate 2pm , Iron 0.13-0.18ppm
Pressure CO2 1h before lights comes on 2bps - 25-35ppm
Why there is no pearling over the plants?
Do I have to put more light with shorter photo period or there is some other problem?
Please help me to have good looking healthy plants.

everything looks pretty good to me except for the UV sterilizer. i was under the assumption that UV sterilizers aren't good for planted tanks because they can oxidize a lot of the nutrients in the water. that could be the issue.
 
Plamski, what's that plant in the 3rd picture down, long green stems with v. short spikes, looks something like green pipe cleaners? I remember those from guppy bowls in my youth but don't see them for sale anywhere online now. Tell me the name and I'll find them one way or another.

It is Cabomba caroliniana
