Yes it looks like it.

What's the best way to end this in the long run? We have 1 blue and 1 full spectrum fluorescent bulb for lighting. Should we use something in the tank, add snails or something, or change the lighting?

Make sure the water parameters are all good first if they try adding an algae eating fish or some snails.
