Green Algae Bloom Alright time for the long winded explanation. I just got my new light up a running about a week ago I had it running 10hrs MH and 12hrs Actinic. Just pulled everything back by two hours today so now I'm at 8hrs MH and 10hrs Actinic. I also just added my Protein Skimmer though I don't think it would affect this. The green algae has really started to take off over the past 48hrs where I'm having to clean off the front glass every few hours and even after turning the sand its greening up in a matter of hours as well. All the fish and corals are doing great.
Water parms:
77 degrees
0 Nitrite
0 Ammonia
20 Nitrate
Ca 400
