Red face now what?

Hey everyone my tank i believe is now cycled, haven't had any traces of ammonia or nitrates, and next to nothing for nitrites for a couple weeks now, but i think ill let it sit another two weeks just to be sure. i do however have hair algea now and bubble algae is starting to come back. both green and red... if there is such a thing as red bubble algae?. should i shut the lights down for a week or so? or what fish would take control of this situation?
any help would be greatly appreciated. i bought about 5 hermit crabs, 4 of them are a emerald hermit crab and one is a blue leg a believe, and i bought 2 astraea conehead snails.. which the crabs killed for they're shells after a week and i bought 2 Nassarius which are doing well. all seems to improve with algea, accept for the little bit of hair and bubble
thanks everyone

since you don't have much in your tank yet aside from CUC, thast would be a good idea to shut the lights off for now.
