Tank was upgraded from 40 gallon breeder to 75 gallon with 30 gallon sump. I’m 2 months in after the upgrade. Some green hair algae starting to go away on the sand bed. I’m assuming this is just the ugly stage after the upgrade. Can you take a look at photos and see if you notice anything else that looks funny or out of wack in photos. Everything seems to be doing good and all corals except leathers have grown in the 2 months.

Your tank looks great and I love the aquascape! Are those 16hd lights? You might want one or 2 more eventually

Yes 16hd. How much difference do you think 1 or 2 additional lights would make. What would it help do. Would it help with growth or color.

Ya I'd think it would help with shading and get more par to your corals. But if your corals are doing good and your happy then that's that!

Another option would be to add a strip led like the orphek or3 or even a couple of t5 bulbs
