Algae Problems!

[vti-chris]

I beleive i have taken my tank through it's cycle by now.It's been almost a month and i have 16 1inch fish in it(160L).
I did lost a few at the begining though... ...
But everything looks good now.
Anyway i have algae growing very fast in my tank.Until now the only fish i saw eating algae were my two corys and my two orange algae eaters which don't seem to be able to keep up with it.
What can i do.
I have set my lights to be ON at 10:00 in the morning then a small pause at 15:00 until 17:00 and then switch OFF at 22:00.
It's total 10hours of lighting 70W.(of "red"(more like a common bulb) and white lights).

Bought an Oto yesterday!!!!!!
I've been looking for this little guy for 2 weeks now and i've been to all shops in my city.
Yesterday one shop received new fish and accidentally there was one Oto in there which wasn't supposed to be in the order that they made.
Sooooooo i got it!!!!!!!


I'm gonna take my two golden algae eaters back to the store though cause they grow too big for my "taste".
I'm gonna trade them for two SAE which are smaller.
Is there a pleco i can get which won't grow more than 4inch?

Ottos need to be in groups of 3+.

Bare in mind that SAEs grow VERY quickly, I bought mine at around 2 inches and they have grown to 5 inches in around 6 months.

In terms of plecs, the best options would be a Bristlenose, Clown or a Pitbull, all stay less than 5 inches,
