What several people have found is that if the ammonia being produced isn't being used up quickly enough (by either the bacteria or the plants) then it will cause algae problems. The ammonia might not be measurable, but it's still the most likely cause. My 75g tank was running for 4-6 months with nitrate level of 50ppm+ with zero algae problems.
