I just replanted and trimmed all the plants in my tank so there was no Algae when I finished, now after a couple days you see here in picture..

BBA is growing strong..
SAE Does nothing at all and these Nerite snails are not going after what is there...

Thanks

From reading that, it sounds like the room lights and computer in my room might be adding the extra light that I do know want.
Could my tank be getting to much light per day because of this?

That's staghorn algae. The link above has solutions for almost every type of algae. The room lights and computer are not adding extra light to cause that.

Let your CO2 run 24/7. There's no need to turn it off. It won't hurt your fish. By not turning it off, it won't have to spend time getting saturation level up once the lights are on.
