sounds like your tank is suffering from some neglect, especially with the lighting and water quality. Sorta like taking a person from a nice home and putting them in a trash dump then wondering why they look sad.

I'd do the lighting upgrade ASAP and get control of the hair algae problem. Do some water changes. if you ever have detectable nitrite with a test kit then you have ammonia issues which means something is way out of whack with the filtration.
