I have algae on the glass in my tanks. I've read that API AlgaeFix works really well. Has anybody ever used it? I already know I need to scrape the walls and vacuum which I will be doing tomorrow. I may also be leaving the lights on to long, but how will plants do if you don't leave the lights on enough?

I would try API AlgaeFix like you thought of trying; I'm sure it will do a marvelous job 
Or what Amber suggested, getting some algae eating fish like siamese or chinese algae eaters & plecos

start using reverse osmosis water from this day forward when you do water changes and it will slowly convert your water from tap to R/O. it will take a lil but will work. light on for 8 to 10 hours at most a day. your algae problem will cut down probly 75%
Srub the tank, Keep the hours of light down, or just dont turn them on for a while. I dont like to add unnecessary chemicals in the water which would be worse than any algae bloom. Algae can actually be quite beneficial. If your looking for a fish to control algae I have found that nothing beats a flagtail prochilodus aka Fei Feng.
