Its not so much on the lights although lighting duration does play a part for the algae growth. Pay more attention on the purity of your water. Lower the nutrients and all types of algaes will disappear too.

i suspect those are not algea. i think those are red slime. formed by bacteria. i do have those on my glass.

use medication to get rid of it. like red slime remover. lower ur nutrient level and upgrade ur skimmer.

good luck

If a man could beat his own fantasy. Then to only breed in captivity. Then its pointless.

Genesis 1:20

And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that has life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
