I am new to this forum. I came here to find out about the algae outbreak in my 55g tank.

Info:
55g tank, set up for about 6 months
130w Coralife Compact Fluorescent fixture for 2.4wpg

Plants include:
crypt wendtiis red
wisteria
rotala indica
bacopa caroliniana
dwarf sag
echinodorous tennellus
anubias nana
java fern

Fish:
8 head and tailight tetras
4 rummynose tetras
5 flame tetras
8 corydoras sodalis
6 corydoras panda
3 yoyo loaches
1 BN
3 ottos
2 angels
1 German Ram

I leave the lights on for about 12-14 hours a day. I haven't been able to find a good timer yet.
I have natural small gravel substrate about 2.5 inches high.

The algae is bushy/fuzzy type and light brown. It is not black brush algae. It is a very light brown color and more bushy than fuzzy. It is all over my plants and on my gravel.
There is also some very short green hairlike things on my gravel and crypt leaves. They are like 3mm long and pretty tiny.

The brown bushy like algae is the problem. It is nasty looking and I have tried to get rid of it. If I try to vacuum it up I can get big clumps, but some of it breaks up into the water.

Last weekend I took out all the plants and dipped them in bleach.
I was told that this would get rid of the algae. It did but it came back about 3days later. This stuff has killed most of my echinodorous tennellus. My bacopa is dying and I don't know what to do. I am totally frustrated with this tank.
I was also told to increase Excel and I did and nothing happened.
The ferts I use are the SeaChem products (Excel, Flourish, Trace, Iron, Nitrogen, Potassium).

Water Parameters are:
Ammonia: 0
Nitrite: 0
Nitrates: ~20ppm
pH: 7.2

Water is hard, but I don't know the GH right now.
