Default Algae is driving me nuts!!!

My tank is 6 months old and i have been battling this algae for at least 3 maybe 4 months. i have a 35 gallon cube with a 10 gallon sump. aqua c remora skimmer skimming wet and filling up container at least 2 times per day. I also threw in a phosban reactor a couple months ago and that didnt make a difference either. My only livestock is 2 clown fish and my CUC. my lighting is a diy 120watts L.E.D. system and is on for 10hours per day. I also get algae on my glass too. if i leave it on the glass for a few days i have to scrape it off because the mag float will get stuck.

water tests are done with api kit

Ammonia-0
Nitrite-0
Nitrates-0
Phosphates-closer to zero (hard to tell)
calcium-460
kh-9
ph-8.2
temp-79

water is reverse osmosis and tested with tds meter reading 0. I do weekly water changes and vacuum the substrate every 2-3 weeks. I feed very little too.







Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
