Again, not really. Old bulbs have taken the blame for this for years, but they get old about the same time that bad maintenance starts to manifest and aragonite starts to get bound-up with phosphate and water level starts to climb. You can find some study that might show that more red light can increase some algae growth by some small percentage, but all new bulbs will also have enough of that spectrum to grow it too, so if you have enough with new bulbs, then more with older bulbs (if even) is inconsequential. Algae issue are from excessive building blocks and lack of flow.
Daylight bulbs do have more energy and output, which in it's self can grow stuff faster... but it is the quantity not the spectrum. Daylight bulbs grow coral and coralline faster too.
If people truly did think that old bulbs and more daylight spectrums grew algae better, then why would they not want to use these over their corals since the algae in their tissue would also benefit?
