My advice is to buy sinking algae wafers for you algae eaters. Drop them in a couple hours before you turn the lights off. They contain extra vitamins etc. that fish won't get from just eating algae. Don't leave the algae disks in for more than and hour and remove what's left over, otherwise you'll begin polluting your tank water.
