I take it your talking about your 25 gl tank. I don't think that the lighting schedule has anything to do w/ your algae issue. I do think that if you just started your tank, say less than 3 months ago, you will have issues w/ algae. Not that you are doing anything wrong, just that a tank under a yr old is still a baby and has to go through alot of phases before it settles down and starts acting predictably.
If you are a long haul trucker, do you have someone to keep an eye on your tank while you are working? Just curious.
