Lighting setup

[Bert0089]

High could anyone advise me on my lighting set up and if it's any good? I have a maxspect jump ml265 blue edition.... I'm getting algae on the glass every few days and unsure if it due to my light I know I'm not over feeding as all food is gone every time I feed.. I run skimmer 24/7 and UV over night (12hrs) its an LPS & soft coral tank with fish, thanks.

Algae on glass has multiple causes in addition to light. I would only adjust light spectrum and intensity settings to facilitate corals. As corals are competing with algae for nutrirents, messing with them to get rid of nuisance algae has the potential of prolonging the issue or even giving algae the upper hand when coral photobiology is suppressed. You might try to find out what lighting levels your corals grew under and match those levels.

Hello - how much algae grows daily? Would also help to hear about your tank (size age water parameters) and see some photos

The glass just has a green tint to it after 2 days. It's was really just a question to if this lighting schedule looks ok? Or if it's not really correct
Thanks.

It looks ok to me. Slight algae on glass every few days is totally normal, for what it’s worth. Scraping and snails (I like trochus)
