Less light, less food and more water changes.

you could add some fish that eat BBA like, Black Mollies, American Flag Fish, or Swordtails. Ive use Black Mollies before with success, the trick is to keep them hungry cause in a well fed system they wont go after the Algae, also try to lower the amount of time the lights agree on the tank.

Don't worry about it? Let it grow? I'm starting to like algae in a tank. Looking at Guapote Mel's videos, he has algae in his tanks, and they look great. Or...put a small sailfin gibbiceps pleco. I just got one and he cleaned out my 135 Gal in a few days....then started crapping constantly everywhere...:)
