Hello! Thanks in advance for your help.
I have a 125 gal coral reef tank with lots of green hair algae--only on the right side of the tank. I'm pretty sure it must be a lighting problem, but what? The bulbs are all replaced at the same time. Tank and lighting parameters below. The lighting schedule is:
blue actinics 8:30 AM to 10:30 PM
daylight 10:30 AM to 8:30 PM
metal halides 12:30 PM to 6:30 PM
125 gal with 250 lb lr/250 lb aconite & live sand, RO/DI water, Life Reef skimmer/sump/refugium;
Lighting: metal halides 250W 14K installed 1/8/13; CF Daylight 10K; CF SunPaq Dual Actinic 420/460nm 96W installed 4/15/13;
Water: Ca 460, KH 9, Mg 1390, NH3/PO4/NO3 0
Corals: acropora, montipora, ricordia, acans, zoas, stylophora, gsp, frogspawn, leathers
Fish: black ice clown pair, Helfrich firefish, 3 blue green chromis, yellowtail blue damselfish, 2 blue neon gobies, gem tang, pair of black line fang blennies, blotched anthias
