I agree with both Mission and Luna , of course not knowing how long the tanks been running dictates on what you can put in there now .

Of course remember "Old lights" tend to change spectrum and that encourages this type of growth .
and if the tank is new' and just cycling leave the lights off and do some tests , Im sure nitrates,phosphates are way up.
Do some water changes as well that will help .

( do you have fish / corals in there now ?)
