What brand of test kits are you using? How old are they? You may get false 0 readings for your nitrate and phosphate (if you are testing) because the algae is using it up so quickly out of the water column that when you test the water column there is none left. Your tank is also overstocked. I would suggest removing one of the fish. Overstocking causes an abundance of nutrients that the live rock can't keep up with processing.

You can also take a read through the link in my signature about nuisance algaes if you wish.
