I have a biocube 32 and just got the AI prime light and I'm using the brs ab+ and since then I have been getting green hair algae popping up everywhere on my live rock. I'm currently dosing reef flux but I've never used it just heard good things it's been in my tank for 3 days not sure when I'll start seeing results. Below is my lighting schedule for the ai prime ab+

Sounds more like a nutrient problem than a lighting problem. Where are your phosphate and Nitrates?

Usually try to correct the underlying problem first, otherwise reef flux (if it works) is a temporary bandaid. What are the phos and nitrates? How long are your lights on? What's in your tank, what are you feeding and how often.
 

Just grow it: Have you ever added CO2 to your reef tank?
