Orphek OR3 growing algae on glass super fast

[bobnicaragua]

I'm running my 0r3 bars 2 hours in the morning and 2 hours at night and have to clean my glass daily. If I don't run them, I can go 3 or 4 days between cleaning.

Any suggestions? Would reef brites be any different?

maybe get more snails? could also cut the hours from 2/2, to 1/1?

They are on the outside striking the glass. Reef brites won’t be any better. Just scrub the glass as needed

could also try angling them inward more? so the spread doesn’t hit the glass as much

I could try swapping the t5 and or3s, but not sure that would do anything since they are already so close.

My bars did the same but was worth it
