Aquarium Advice Freak
I have a 75g freshwater with and aqua clear 110 filter stocked with 11 various cichlids and a silica sand substrate. I started getting algae on my rocks a few weeks ago and they are getting covered with a green colored algae. From what I have read this is rather common but after doing a 40% water change 2 days ago I noticed yesterday the algae has spread to the glass and is looking rather unsightly. I would like to curb the problem before it gets worse. I feed once a day and never feed more that can be eaten quickly and it never even hits the bottom before being eaten. I left the lights off yesterday and am doing the same today. I have an led light with both day and night settings and I use them both. I try to keep day lights on for 8hrs and leave night time lights on until morning. My tank does not get direct sunlight.
What I would like to know is their anything else I should do to stop the outbreak? Should I scrub the tank or leave it alone? I have included pictures and would love to get opinions on the best course of action. Thanks

, however I'd suggest turning off the moonlights.
