In my 25 gallon low light tank i only add Trace+iron to my tank, nothing else. I do have fairly hard water so that might help. How is your water out of the tap for nitrates, nitrites, GH and KH, that could be telling if there is to much or two little. Also i have a hefty snail population consisting of nerite snails (3) and Malyasian trumpet snails (30+) that all eat algea and help keep things clean.
