    So at this point my biggest issue is the algea growth.  I've got the water changes and nutrient measurements down.  Not using nopox until the skimmer is functioning.   

    Do you suggest I just maintain as is for now, or what to do to beat the algea?

     

    Definitely not over feeding.   

    How long should I have the light on for?

    That would be my suggestion. You’re making the correct changes, now you just need to keep those changes constant and let things correct themselves. 
    There are options that can help move things faster (carbon dosing, chemical additives) and they work great. But you have to continually use them, and that still takes months sometimes. 

  2. Not to be “that guy”, but no one has mentioned patience in this situation. Nothing good happens fast in this hobby. Your algae issues need to be solved at the base level. Adding too many nutrients (over feeding, light schedule too long, etc) and improper nutrient removal (not doing proper water changes, no skimmer, etc) need to be solved as well as making adjustments to things such as no pox, proper scrubber algae growth, and the likes. 
    But even with all the right changes you need to stay consistent for a long enough time period that everything evens out. If you’re making changes constantly and not allowing things to settle, in my experience, you aren’t going to see many positive changes.
