You will have a roller-coaster of algae regardless of parameters. All are normal. Remove what you can by hand during water changes. Keep parameters in order. Hard to tell from pic but looks like cyano.

That's cyanobacteria, suck out what you can without it going all over the tank.

Algae is a normal part of a tank maturing. Don't consider extreme measures until things are really bad.
