Great looking tank!

I would start with double dosing every day. See what happens....see how the fish react (they should be fine) and how the algae reacts after a few days.

I haven't had to deal with too high temps in a while (thankfully) so the increase on warmer days might be an issue. What type of filter(s) do you have and do you have any powerheads? There is less gas exchange when the water is warmer *I think* so that could be an issue? I know in tanks without co2 injection, surface agitation is a good thing...how much surface agitation do you have?

Sorry for all the questions...just trying to see if anything sticks out to me about why you are having such a bad algae issue.
