Algae Issue clearing up question

[joeev123]

Ok so I have had alot of nutrients in my tank recently, I did a few water changes and got a new Refugium light. My tank rocks were covered with some greenish/black algae for awhile mixxed with some cotton candy algae. After reducing the nutrients and leaving my refugium light on 24/7 the rocks in the tank started to lose all the algae growing on it and getting replaced with some nice pink coraline. The issue is now with my refugium, where my cheato is covered with cotton candy algae to point it barely is growing. The cotton candy algae been growing quick down in the sump its all over. This is the problem tho with the display showing less and less algae growth and cleaning up day by day, do i cut back on refugium light to stop growth down there? or keep it running to help clear up the main tank.

Add 1ml of hydrogen peroxide per 10 gallons nightly for a week for algae and lower lighting interval also

Is the "cotton candy algae" just growing in the refugium or in other parts of the sump that don't get light?
