Green Dust Algae Fix Finally!

[jiveyla]

Hey guys I have been doing some research and trying to find out my causes of Green Dust Algae in my 45G redsea reefer. I have determined after multiple attempts to rid it that it is caused by an increase of C02 levels, and high intensity lighting.
I have adjusted my flow to more surface agitation and cut back my LEDs intensity to 70% whites and 40% blues and now no more GDA! Hope this helps others that have been having GDA issues!
