Algae Treatment?

Just wondering what everyone recommends for algae in a freshwater aquarium? Ever since I purchased my Discus and raised the temp. to 86 degrees, I’ve noticed more greenish-brown algae on my tank. It’s kind of slimy, too.

I need something to control the algae, but also something that’s not going to mess with the bacteria in my tank or harm my fish. I have 3 cory cats and a few ghost shrimp, too.

Thanks so much!! :)

Some more info: I have a 55 gallon aquarium with a Penguin BioWheel 350. No live plants, a few artificial, though. Aquarium rocks line the bottom and I have a few castles as decor.
