32 biocube lighting

[SlicVic]

Hi everybody!
I am still wrestling with by lightning schedule in my 32 BioCube! I have corals some fish and invertebrates and live rock. It has been established for two and a half years. When I had the daylight LED light come on I seem to get tons of algae so I reduced it and finally removed it. I'm only running the color enhancing LEDs and the blue LEDs. Can somebody help me with an appropriate schedule.

Hi, what type of light do you have? What intensity and duration do you have it on now?

I have the traditional 12 hour schedule the light from the Biocube came but I decreased the full whites to 5 hours. Typically full whites are on when I’m not home, I hat how washed out the colors of my corals look.

Lights came with the BioCube and so I don't know the intensity however, I have the lights come on ramping from 6:00 till 7:00 and then on until 2:00 and then they ramp down for an hour. They go by channels: 1001 our daylight LEDs, Channel 2 is color enhancing LDS with automatic sunrise and sunset function, and channel 3 are blue LEDs with Moonrise and moon set.

Channel one are the daylight LEDs. I don't have those on at all right now. The others are on for a total of 8 hours.
