What's the size of your tank, fish (and size), skimmer, lighting (how old are the bulbs, photoperiod), flow in side tank, feeding schedule (and what you feed)? These will be important determinants of algae problems too. Also, how long has your system been set up?
What brand of salt are you using? Are you using RO/DI water? Also, if anything, switch to larger weekly water changes.

Have any pictures of your algae problems? I used to have the same issue up until late last year. Problem solved by reducing my photoperiod (lights on for 8 hrs total), switching salt from Instant Ocean to H2Ocean and without fail 20 gal water changes every 2 weeks. I started using Prodibio , just gave my second dose last Saturday and have switched to 10 gal water changes/2 weeks. The sea hare will clean up your problem quickly but it's more of a band-aid solution.
