Ok I will reduce the time the light is on and I will also monitor the algae. There is probably enough natural light getting in during the day without direct sunlight hitting the tank to make up for the few hours less the tank light is on. Anything else I should do to help?
Now that you have mentioned daylight, we can go a further step.
I have had this algae increase solely due to the increased daylight (brighter and longer hours) in summer months. So ambient light such as daylight will be a factor.
However, daylight is not going to help your aquarium plants at all, it is no where near strong enough to replace the overhead tank light (I will leave the exception, it is not really relevant to the discussion). So you would be better to limit the daylight and control the tank lighting. The latter has to be sufficient for the plants. I run my tank lighting for eight hours now, and with blinds and drapes over the window closed i have no issues in summer any longer. In rooms that you live in this may not be an option, but reducing the brightness of the light in the room is a key factor here.
You can reduce the tank lighting period to seven hours and see if this works, or then to six hours; I would not go below that. This "daylight" tank lighting period must be continuous and during the same time each 24-hours; this is because of the circadian rhythm in all fish, animals and plants.
In post #1 you mention the tank running for a year with no algae problem, so that makes me wonder if the lighting may have weakened and need replacing. I don't know about LED light which I think is different, but all fluorescent (T8 or T5) and screw-in bulbs (CFL or incandescent) do weaken with time, to the popint where the intensity is so much less the plants struggle and again algae will take advantage. Fluorescent tubes and bulbs should be replaced every 12 months without fail. I let one of mine deliberately go a few years back to see what would happen, and sure enough, algae began increasing, Replacing the tube solved it, so this is a significant factor. Plants in the tropical areas have basically consistent light (duration, intensity, spectrum) from the sun all year round.
