Hello all, I have been running two AI Prime HDs over a standard 55 gallon tank for the past four months and everything is going fairly well. I don't have the lights turned up all the way and I don't have a PAR meter to check exactly what is going on. That being said, I have grown acros with my current settings. My only problem is that I have green hair algae and cyano problems. I was wondering if there is a lighting spectrum I could adjust to try and fix this. Water params are fine. Phosphate at less than .1, Nitrates less than 3, Calc around 410, Alk 8.

Excess nutrients are the biggest issue with algae, usually phosphate. Possibly leaching from somewhere like your rock. Warmer light with more white and red can help it along, but won't be the root cause. As such, just cooling it down to more blue won't provide a suitable fix either, IMO/IME.
