Questions from my tank build

[Luigi Reefs]

Hello everyone.

I have some questions about my parameters, lighting and algae that is creeping up in my tank. I have all the information about the issue in my tank build. Would someone more knowledgeable give my last post a read and let me know about the following questions?

Should I be concerned about Nitrate/Phosphate levels?
Algae: Is this something I should be concerned about? Or is this a natural part of the early evolution of the tank?
Lighting: Is the schedule adequate? Please consider that I would like to add easier LPS corals in the future. Could this be contributing to the Algae issues?

yes
it is a normal thing, it will eventually balance out if u can balance the nutrients of the tank out.
that schedule is definitely contributing to algae, the 100%'s are too much imho

Thanks Stewy,

Should I consider Rowaphos for a short time to limit the phosphates?
For the lighting, would you suggest reducing the blues to 75% or lower? Please note this is not a high capacity light. The LPS setting has the light set at 100% at all times.
