Any pics of the algae? Also, how old is your tank? Are the lamps in the fixture new or used? Finally, what are your phosphate levels at?
It may just be a diatom bloom, which is generally an easy fix. Diatoms will spread too much and eventually kill themselves off. Turbo snails are great for controlling diatoms as well. Also research dinoflagllates. Hopefully, it is not that because they are terribly hard to remove from the system.
I would run some GFO (just be sure to add it gradually) if you are not all ready doing that and wait it out as it will get better, if it is diatoms.
