Different species of algae can use different intensities of light.
By raising the fixture you may be simply exchanging one type algae for another.
In low light tanks brown type may flourish, or cyanobacteria (slim algae) may become rampant.
I agree with cichlidfish
1. Reducing light time
2. Increase water changes
3. Feed fish less
4. Clean filter often
5. Scrub glass
