Yeah 10 hours of light maximum (you may want to go with 8 or even less if it's out of control). Otto's and snails can help, however from my experience excessive algae growth is usually a nutrient/lighting problem. How quickly is the algae growing? Is it just on plants/decor/glass or is the water green also?
