Coraline Algae Turned White

[ansonluna]

I have some coraline algae on the rocks closest to my lights that is turning white....is that good or bad, how do I fix it?

Do you recently change your bulbs or upgrade your lights?

[ansonluna]

Yeah, I just put in my 72in VHO super actinics. Before that I just had two 250watt 20k MH bulbs.

Now that's a scary link!

[don-n-sa]

nah...its probably just because the added lights. Just give it time it will come back once everything is adjusted.

Here are pics of the two rock affected. Like I said, they are the highest rocks in the tank. It looks like white icing.
