First you need to find out where the fuel is coming from that feeds the algae, test tank and top off water for nitrates, phosphates. Are you using tap or ro/di water?
What are you feeding the tank?
Yank it off the LR for now and scrubbing the lr can help for a quick fix. You need to find the source, so you can get rid of the nutrients feeding the algae.
Some info about the tank may help????????

Rubberband a old toothbrush to your hose that you do water changes with and when you do one scrub the rock and let the loose algea go up the tube. Just do this till you see it gone. But you do need to find out what is causing it. How often are you feeding? You should feed every other day. Been doing this in my tank for many years.Good luck
