I’ve seen an increase in the last few days. The tank is 3 months old. I’ve added a new reefled90 under two weeks ago I’m keeping the white to a minimum. My levels have been steady. Some images below. How can I combat this. Thanks

New tank, algae will be the first thing to grow. You can turn down the white light and use more blue. Vacuum the sand bed once a week.
 
I had been only lighting 4-5 hrs with a generic white led. I jumped to 11 with the red sea eeefled. That was probably too big a jump and kicked off the bloom. Will it go away again on it’s own
