Tall tank lighting

[flowerbabe08]

I have a 15 gal reef and I believe the light I'm using is too much? (Major algea probs)
Give me some ideas of what light I shuuld be using please. What would you use on this tank?

(Tank pic is is just after major clean/wc hence everything closed up)

Isn't that a kessel a360we light

I had one on a 20 gallon tank and was fine but you can't have the white light up you want mostly blue and only run it at like 10 intensity on that size of a tank if you keep the light or you can buy a kessel a160 for that tank or t5 lighting but corals mainly like blue light and you have nutrients in your water for algae to grow and then the light makes it grow once it's in the tank but you can use Fluconazole to get rid of the algae but it will take a couple of doses to get rid of all of that algae and if you go this route you will have to get it online and it comes in capsules and you dose 1 200mg pill for every 10 gallon so you would have to dose 1 unless you have a sump because your rock takes water away

What’s your light schedule and settings? I would reduce it.
Are you using rodi water?

It's not the light.

Agree, what is you parameters, especially Phosphates and nitrates this way we can figure out what is causing the growth
