I think you are going to be really surprised with what a good job those 15 shrimp will do on this type of algae. Reducing light to 8 hours is a good idea. Shrimp work best, the love this stuff.
Don't ever pull a crypt to dip/bleach treat outside the tank- they don't like to have their roots disturbed and will invariably melt leaves if you do.
If you treat with H2O2, don't exceed 2ml/gallon/day although I would let my shrimp handle it. I've never had this type of algae for long- it usually burns itself out.
