Allow me to clarify,
The canister filter on my planted tank contains filter floss for catching particles. You may not have this issue with just carbon and bio-media. Adding more LR isn't going to do much in terms of algae prevention.
Since the lights are new, this brings up the point I mentioned before; the hair algae gets good lighting and the fuge algae gets mediocre lighting. At 8 months, I would say that you should be past the new tank syndrome.
