i’ve had my reef tank set up for a year and so but recently i’ve had an issue with the algae and i’m not to sure if i have my lighting correct does any one have any advice? important note is that both lights are kessill 360s and i have them at the lowest intensity.

We need more information, like how high are the lights mounted, is the tank getting natural sunlight, and what is your nitrate and phosphate?

Also need to know your CUC, maintenance (water changes, manual cleanings, etc) along with your fish load.

I also picked up an algae problem close to my year mark. I used green control, or Fluconazole, to control it. Then I am doing water tests to see where the problem is. The Fluconazole definitely helps, as long as you're removing dead and loosened algae as well. It does take a few days depending on your algae type. Then I added bacteria and CUC after treatment. Be careful how much you use as it can kill your inverts.
