Keep them at the reverse schedule If you run it 24/7 you'll slow down the rate of growth on some of your macro. Every plant that produces chlorophyl (photoautotrophs) requires a dark cycle. You can always bump it up a big more, but just make sure you leave some down time in the dark.

I'd do what Myka said, take out the algae manually, and maybe take out one of your larger fish.
you could also try a blackout for a day or two.

I think that the naso tang wouldn't be a very good choice at all considering that it might not even eat the algae (every fish is different)
and also because if you cant get rid of it you've got a pretty big fish on your hands (ive seen some 16 inchers while snorkeling)
