I am overrun with bubble algae in the display. Its not killing anything just not great to look at. I have emerald crabs and chaeto coming in next week. I also bought a much brighter refugium light. Do I have the right idea in lowering my dt lights and increasing the refugium lights to drive the algae growth into the refugium and away from the dt? How long can I lower my light intensity before I have issues with my corals. I have mostly zoas and euphyllia and a couple stags.
