Algae problem

Hello all

I replaced my t5 light set up with a 6 x 54 t5 ATI power module a few weeks ago. I found that my glass now has a film of algae on it within 24 hours. Water quality is good. I reduced full power on tHe lights by two hours from the previous light leaving a purple and blue plus on for the full seven hours.

Corals are loving the a ATI tubes. Is the algae normal? Do others clean the glass daily? The rocks are also developing more algae. Microbubles over the dead areas

Cheers

Paul
 
Test your phosphates, if they are up your Algae can go nuts on you, but if someone tells you to turn off the lights, just reduce the time of the lights and get something to balance your Pphosphates, and watch your Ammo!
