Hi all,
I recently upgraded to ai hydra 52 (4x) over my 150gal (6ft tank). Corals are loving the upgrade however I am over run now with algae in the sand bed, walls and rock. I was running for 11hrs but dropped it down to 8. Nutrients all within limits. I am newer to the hobby, a year and a half under my belt, and am looking for advice on how to get this algae under control. Any advise would be much appreciated. Learning as I go!
