-Lighting: 2x Kessil a360we

Plants:
-Micranthemum 'monte carlo'
-Staurogyne repens
-Rotala Bonsai
-Alternanthera Reineckii mini
-A cryptocoryne which is a temporary measure
Fish:
-Lamb chop rasbora
-Marbled hatchetfish
-pencilfish
-galaxy rasbora
-sparkling gourami
-Pygmy Cory
Also there are 3 amano shrimp at the moment, I'm looking to put more in if anyone knows a decent source for the right money - also other kinds of shrimp.
Ok, I am having a bit of an algae issue if you look in the photos below you should see. I believe I have good flow, a decent level of CO2 and have started EI dosing even if it was only 2 days ago but I think things may have got worse the past couple of days; whether that is coincidence or not I'm unsure.
What suggestions do people have to help me get this under control? I know there are lots of other threads with the same question but I think I have everything working well just unsure how to combat the algae now!
I have had a look through the link below and think its blanket weed but then again it looks different in other places like fuzz and also think I had some GSA on my glass last week so who knows!

I hope someone with some experience can give me some words of advice but it seems to look different in every different photo!.
