Use a more full spectrum bulb, algae won't grow very well under a 14K, it's mostly blue spectrum. A 6500K would be good.

If you already have the Sunpod then go with that but change the bulb out to a lower Kelvin Spectrum (Or let it run until it burns out). Your other option is something like a screw in reptile fixture with a 100W incandesent bulb.
