I actually think someone else had brought it up either in this thread or your other thread.
It's worth a shot. I know I've said this before but if it were my tank and the situation you are in (empty tank and rocks in a new tank) I would have gone the bath route. Then again that's just me wanting to ensure the rocks were 'clean' to start with to avoid months if not years of algae battle.

Not likely, I run my OR LEDs 100% on both channels from day 1, no hair algae...

I'm not completely sold on the lights being the cause myself. Still think it's PO4 in the rock as I noted earlier. Don't know what else it could be with no other source of nutrients.
