MY FIRST POST WOOT WOTT. okay enough of that and straight to business.

I have a newly reset up 29, long story lol, and this time around i have decreased the light time, there are no fish, fresh ro water, a refugium and after only a week my water is turning green. for lighting i have a coral life power compact with the two 96 watt bulbs, is this to much
