We don't actually use our well anymore Bear, was just complaining about the lack of rain around here 
and the man claims to be out in the boondocks
but in one thing he's right, atty - it's a constant battle ............ sigh. i really should turn on the lights for just 6 hours or so.

And no septic system!
No reason at all to leave aquarium lights on 24/7.

You could paint the back of the aquarium...might help. But then it would reduce the light in the room and also not let you see through the tank to the window. Oil based paints that stick to (cleaned!) glass are used, if I remember correctly. A cheap disposable foam brush(s) works well on glass. Easier to paint it before you fill it, but....oh well. Will require at least 2 coats.
There are also things you can buy to put on the glass...scenes, etc. Or reflective films. Some of the scenes/paint may not be reflective to the frequencies of light that you want to filter to reduce algae growth. Might take research, but not worth it unless you're interested.
P.S.
I bet CES could have fun with that. Painting an underwater pic on glass in reversed layers...
