What's your tank setup? Light, ferts, CO2, etc?

ive recently added two t5 lights to my standard aqaurium lights, the tanks 50gallons, i add daily liquid ferts, and a weekly one, maybe i have my lights on to long im up a 6am and dont turn them off till about 9pm, not sure how to get rid of it.

Are these T5HO or NO?

It could very possibly be an issue worth either excess light or insufficient ferts. T5HO produce a surprising amount of light.
