If I get a protein skimmer will that help lower my nitrates? Maybe keep them in check. I need to figure out how to keep them low they go back up to 20 a few days after water change

Do the coral look okay and I’m battling that reddish brownish stuff all over my tankflow looks good.
Now question I thought blue was good for coral and doesn’t produce algae like white does. I can put like any color on or two colors but not with white smh. Also they only display at 25 percent for a single color and 50 percent for two so like red green would be 50 percent but green would be 25 percent brightness. I can ramp down the brightness for the full spectrum down right now I’m at about 11 hours of light at 100 percent with ramp up in the beginning.I would first play with outlets of your filters and yes you can try to direct them at the bottom. You could also consider getting some powerheads, theare are some brands making mini powerheads.
As far as light is regarded, if you can control spectrum, cut on white/red/green and bump blue. If you cannot adjust that, decrease photoperiod or/and raise lights up.
I would cut red/green to 0 if possible, blue to 50% and white to 0 for now. You could turn it back later. I would just suggest running blues only if possible for now and not exceeding photoperiod over 12h. For now you could cut it to 8-10h, temporarily.Now question I thought blue was good for coral and doesn’t produce algae like white does.
