Algae Question

I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to control algae in my tank. I am new at this. I have had my tank for about 2 months, 55 gallon. I have a variety of snails, emerald crabs, sea cucumber and hermit crabs, but the algae seems to grow like crazy. Can anyone help me?

I use RO/DI water and my levels seem to be right on. I test almost everyday. I am not an algae expert so I dont exactly know the name of the algae, but it orange in color or a rusty looking color and I am getting these green grassy patches growing on my filter and powerhead intakes. Should I try to change the water? Or should I take it down to my LFS for testing first?
