Algae crisis!

Welcome to UKAPS, a lot of replies here more or less cover it. A good way to approach this I find is to wage war on with not just one thing,biggest cause inconsistent CO2- direct more CO2 to the substrate,lighting-try different things cut down- less tubes -raise the lighting shorten photoperiod to 5 hours can be increased later,keep substrate as clean as possible,-manually remove as much daily as you can-daily,dont underestimate the value(if fish compatable)of algae eating shrimp or fish finally if you have room put some fast growers stems in leave in pots if you want to remove later they will outcompete the algae.Dont hold back on fertilisers.
