I've finally come to the conclusion that my light is simply too weak to support sps corals. I was warned by my LFS this might be the case. The blue spectrum is just not strong enough. It's frustrating because I can turn up the white spectrum until the tank looks like a square fireball, but the white spectrum simply grows algae.
Nevertheless, I want to try one more thing.
I can purchase violet/blue colored stage lighting gels super cheap. If I were to cover the white LEDs on my light with these gels, could I turn the lights up to get the power I need without growing algae like crazy while giving sps what they need?
