Welcome to R2R!!! You may want to manually remove the worst of it by hand and reevaluate your lighting and feeding.

Definitely invest in a diverse clean up crew, and make sure to do your water changes regularly, that along with making sure you aren't overfeeding and your light intensity isn't too high. Manual removal is a good thing, there is an element of allowing it to sort itself but there are things that help, manual removal and having some vibrant on hand in case it does get too much! Also...
