What about lightings?

Algae uses light, without light it will die. What is your photoperiod?
What type of light are you using. As lights age, the colour spectrum changes and algae becomes more.
I am Running three Radeon XR 15 Gen 4 pro they have been running for almost a year and I have turned off the red and green spectrum and I run a 10 hour cycle on my lights @ 40% intensity Max. I also took off the nopox because I heard carbon dosing can also lead to cyano.
