Keeping the visible algae to a minimum?

What do you add to keep the algae in a fish-only to a minimum? I have
a good setup in my tank, and have had one for 5 years now. the problem
is that the algae attaches to everything within a week of cleaning out
the tank (glass, dead coral, dolomite, etc). It's ugly, I know the
fish eat it, but what can I add to kill the algae? My local rep sold
me some poly-ox, but it stains anything it touches, and I've already
stained some things I wish I hadn't.

Thanks

I am no expert, I just started my marine, and am going to be adding these in
a week or so:
