The amount of light needed to  balance a tank varies from setup to setup although usually between 8 and 12 hours is best (replicating nature). Try somewhere between 8 to 10 hours and see if you're still getting algae.

Turn off the lights for an hour halfway for through your photo period.  It helps restore co2 levels and lets plants take a break.  This is very good for non co2 tanks.
