If the tank is 20" deep it would benefit from 2 extra T5's as far as algae goes it will only be a problem if you have a nutrient problem i.e. to much nitrate and to much phosphate providing these are kept in check you will not have an algae problem although you may have issues with increased coralline algae growth that can get to pest proportions and require the addition of a sea urchin to keep on top of it.
