Python here, along with 50-75% weekly water changes.

You could try using ro/di water. This might help with the algea problem. When I use ro/di, I have less algea, something to do with phosphate. At least that's what I was told. I'm not really sure how true it is, a reef keeper would know more about it. Other than that just keep doing what your doing.
