Increase of algae on glass?

Ive noticed over the past week I have to clean my glass every day with a magfloat. I used to be able to go 2-3 days between cleaning. This seemed to start after my water change.. Any ideas?

Using RO/DI water for water changes and top offs?
TDS of output water?
tank parameters?
heavy feeding?
lighting change?

TDS reads 0, only new fish is a green mandarin, bulbs are only 3 months old (ATI), Same lighting times, maybe a tad more feeding.
