I'm looking for some advice. I have one of the new juwels (180L) with the t5 lighting, and basically, i have a large algae problem. the tank is reasonably well planted (several large elodea and amazon swords), i change ~20% of the water weekly and lights are on for 5 hours at a time with a 2 hour siesta in the middle eg 5 on 2 off 5 on.
would adding CO2 or ferts help the plants out grow the algae? or adding more plants maybe? or changing the lighting period?
any input appreciated

EDIT - PS. there are 2x45W t5's so i estimate this to be just over 2WPG? there are no reflectors however
