I fought the good fight with GHA and won. I also discovered I was bottomed out with Nitrate and Phosphate. I'm dosing Phosphate and Nitrate now so I can hold .05ppm Phosphate and 3ppm Nitrate. It was amazing to see my coral perk right up. Anyway that's another thread for another day. Now I have the dark green/brown algae growing on the glass. I need to be scraped with a razor blade every three days or so. I do run a UV. I don't think I can get any picture of it. Has anybody run into this?

I have three tanks running and have to clean the glass every other day and should clean it daily and do at times. The only way I have found to stop it is run with no lights 
EDIT : my tanks run at varying nutrient levels from barely detectable to 15 NO3 and 0.6 PO4 and the glass needs to be cleaned the same on all.
