Nusiance algae is caused my excess nutrients or phosphates. You show to have nitrites which is not good. Most of the time excess nutrients are from overfeeding. You will need to do water changes and sometimes elevating your magnesium level will help also. What lighting are you using? Also i would recommend taking a sample to lfs and have them test your water. 6 weeks is way to short a time to be adding fish and corals because tank has probaly not cycled yet.
