moonlighting

[marinelife]

I know this was asked before and no one answered it so I want to ask again. I added two 25 Watt Party blue bulbs to my 180 Gallon Reef Tank for moonlighting. They are on for 3 hours a night. Ever since adding then I have gotten algae (see picture). I have tried to use water change and Marc Weiss Phosphate and Silicate Magnet. Both have not helped. Anyone else have this same problem when you added moonlights. It is working it way all over the tank.

Sorry marinelife, can't help you with the coincidence of your moonlighting and algae. I use aqualine led's for nightime lighting my 180. I do suggest that you pull as much of that algae out as you can, though. I recently spent scrubbing ALL the LR in my tank to get rid of the stuff, and it took me 3 full days.
