Hello everyone
So it's Ben about 4 months since I got a new coralife ho t5s 2 white 2 actinic so bulbs are new it came with all bulbs I just replaced one white bulb
I noticed every time lights come on after a few minutes some type of algae grows on my anemone tentacles and on my corals t irritates my anemone it shrinks the tentacles I have to increase the flow to remove the algae
My phosphate are less than 0.25 or I might be wrong
0 nitrate
Dkh 10
Ph always changes 7.9to 8.0
Temp 77/78
Could the phosphate be the reason or is my lights?

Seems like the lights have been on there long enough for your tank to get used to them. Phosphates you want under .05
