If the new lights are stronger try a shorter time with the lights on. When i went to MH I had a bloom. Took a while of gradual increases to get to the time I wanted them on but it seemed to help control the growth for me. It seems to me anytime I have made a major change to any tank I have had over the years I get a bloom.
