I also experienced the same issue when i jacked my whites up to increase growth of coral (it did that but also spurred algae growth as well). In the short term i found that lowering white channel helped a ton until i got my phos under control then slowly raised the white channel back to high.

As far as I know, Nick. The white doesn't actually do anything except aesthetics. Corals need the blues. If you ran a reef with just whites, everything would die!

I would attribute your algae to diatoms, which is a normal progression of a cycle during the new-tank-syndrome phase. I'm going to assume your tank is pretty young?

I've seen some pretty great success with this product, check it out! It works!

I had the same stuff for about a year, then it just went away. Don't go crazy trying to get rid of it. It will just go away once it cycles through.

My tank is indeed very young going about 5 months. So how long can I expect this algae cycle? My RO/DI water is reading 2, im doing regular changes. I turned down my lighting and am actually gonna leave my lights off for a few days. I don't over feed. ???? I also have some Nualgi on the way, we will see if it helps.


Cheers!!
