Hi, please could you help me to reduce algae.

I am fighting with algae more than 2 years. I have lot of algae on my background.

Aquarium: 160x55x50 cm, I use PH controller to keep pH. I had a BBA, I switched off pH controller during the night, now when I keep running controller whole day and night, Black algae disappear and I have mainly green algae. Could you advice how to get rid of this algae?

I have 12 discuss fish and 20 neon tetras.

Light: Aquatlantis Easy LED 1450 mm, 72 W freshwater, 10 hours lighting, maximum capacity (95%) only 4 hours a day.
