The type of light is irrelevant to growing algae on the glass. You can start by lowering the amount of white light you are using or lowering the overall intensity. It also helps to keep your nitrates/phosphates in check. If you can't lower intensity due to coral demand, then there isn't much else you can do other than to scrape your glass everyday. That being said, I run a different light with lower nutrients and not much white and I have to scrape the glass every other day. It's just one of those things you can't do a whole lot about.

I use the popbloom light, as mentioned above, it is a problem we all have, we just have to scrape the glass.

I have zero algae on my front glass. I use a shade for the majority of my lights and a kessil up front pointing to the rear, to keep the light off the glass and use black sand so it doesn't reflect onto it. You can leave it for weeks before you have to rub off the biofilm. I clean the fingerprints off it more than algae. I used this technique on another tank, using a spotlight kessil type light and black sand with no shade so there was some tiny spill light and it was about a week between cleaning the algae.

Ive only ever had to clean my glass once a week b4 buying these lights. I used to run tmc ilumenair. I think its my light settings that are to high, just thought someone would gift me there settings. Im sick of messing around with them
