Hello! I'm new to the hobby and have watched a few of aquarium co-op's videos and I have some questions. I have set up a 5 gallon tank for my betta and I have noticed that there has been a bunch of algae growth on the substrate. I have been doing a gravel vac once a week and have been trying to cut the lighting hours a bit. The substrate I use is seachem fluorite black. One thing I have noticed is that if I leave the light for about 5 hours after a gravel vac, I can see the algae starting to grow on the substrate again. This is my first tank so I only have a piece of anubias and java fern. Does anyone have an idea on how to solve this as I have been battling this issue for about 2 weeks now. Im planning on adding some more plants so I would also like to know if this algae would be bad for them. I also am wondering on what other basic plants there are in the hobby that can survive even in the care of an absolute beginner.

This is also my first forum post as well so I apologize if the title has been cut out a bit.
