I had algae problems for a while, and they were greatly reduced when I cut my lighting down to 8 hours instead of 10 and starting to doing my flourish dosages which I would 'forget to do' a lot and not be steady with. I've found that the healthier you keep your plants > the better they grow > the more they out-compete the algae for nutrients > the less algae you have in the long run. Yes, its more work but I am so much happier with the look of my tank now. I still have a bit of algae, cause not all of it has gone away yet, but over time I have noticed a slow and steady decrease.
