light could be trigger more algae growth, I'd recommend some water changes and consider a UV filter, which should break down the algae cells in the water column. also, what kind of skimmer and other filters do you have on the tank? if it's that seaclone and concoction of cannisters in your signature, I'd highly recommend removing them all and getting a better powered skimmer. you could be fueling algae in the canisters, and the seaclone isnt nearly adequate for the 125.

it's just phytoplankton i wouldn't worry about it too much, do a water change and it'll look better
In general a std algae bloom is a cosmetic issue rather than a life or death issue. If you do nothing it should go away on its own.
No magic on water chagnes ... some people argue for frequent small water changes .. I tend to go with less frequent large water changes. If you go the large water change route make sure the replacement water is properly aged (24 hrs+) and has the correct salinity and temperature.
