Hi all,
So I have an AI prime 16 setup on a 50L nano reef, its currently running saxby but i have HUGE amounts of hair algae. I belive the light is one of the issues as its on for so long. I have customised it to reduce reds and greens but the algae is presistant. Would changing it to a different spectrum for 10 hours (like 3 hours less than saxby) cause harm to my coral? Would anyone suggest against changing it? I am also in the process of lowering nitrates and phosphates but the system is young, only like 6 or 7 months old ish. I only keep LPS corals in here also.
CUC -
3 blue hermits
1 cleaner shrimp
1 turban snail
