I'll get a phosphate test kit to be safe! aside from p04 causing algae.. I'm assuming light is the other enemy. The tank will be out of direct sunlight and ran of led's.

I just ordered an custom setup (overkill but dimmable so I can fine tune it later)
36 Watt System
3x 10000k-12000k LEDs
4x Royal blue LEDs
2x Blue Leds
2x violet
1x Ultra violet

I have no idea what intensity I will need to run it at however some corals require very high par and I didn't want t to limit my self!

How many hours per day is "safe" to run the lights at with out encouraging algae? 8h? If I run the blue moon lights on low for say 2h will this affect algae or is it fairly safe?
