I've had my tank running for about 3 years now and never had an algae problem. A couple weeks ago I extended my lighting by an hour and also added two new pieces of live rock. I had some corals bleach so I dropped the light back down to what it's been for the last 2 years.

I've started to notice some green algae on the 3 years old rock. It can easily be pulled off but is starting to expand within the tank.

What should I do? Should dose something like Chemiclean?
