Please ID these algea.
Latin names are OK but I really need to know the english name IE. what it's usually called on this list.

Chemical & Water values: http://user.tninet.se/~nuz246a/values.htm

How do I get rid of these algea?
Are my water values terribly wrong?

Upon returning from my vacation I found my tank overgrown with long threads of green algea.
After a 4 day blackout and severe pruning (IE. just kept the tops and replanted them) they soon returned.
Now I can't get rid of them :-(

Lighting is 8 * 36 W on 12 h
Tank is 540 L and I change 100 L / night.
population is
8 discus
ottos
12 cardina japonica (I think)
corys
tetras
6 large yellow snails

really greateful for answers on or off list, on how to go about this.
