Giesmann, 2months ago i replaced 2 of the bulbs, then 2 weeks later i did the other 2.oh yeah, what kind of lighting? you said you just put in a new bulb? what kind?
Well if your siphoning out sand when you do water changes that could be a reason as well. As the sand get removed the detritus that is deep in the sand could be releasing phosphates back into the water. I dealt with that when I took out half of the fine crushed coral from the bottom of my tank. I replaced it with 2 inches of south down. I don't get algae on the south down but have seen some increase of algae on the rest of the crushed coral substrate. The new lighting and the removal of sand I bet is a partial cause for the phosphates.
To solve the problem, I put a layer of Phosban between two layers of filter floss and placed it in an old canister filter. Hooked the canister up to the tank and in four days phosphate levels were at 0. Most likely not the ideal solution, but I didn’t have to buy a reactor.
Just thought I would share what worked for me.
