hi all, I have a quick question regarding the setting people have on the v2 luminair lights. the instructions reckon for a lps reef around 65-75 on all the blue white and red settings. I've had a rather rapid colonization of hair algae since I've slowly raised all spectrums up to 50, (particularly since raising the red over 30) this has happened in a week, the tank is relatively new and nutrients are high at the minute as expected but im concerned the red light may be encouraging algae growth quicker than would normally happen?
