False premise? Lighting, nutrients (including bioavailable carbon), and plant mass must all balance. Changing one requires sampensating changes in the others.

That is exactly why I quit running high light fast growth tanks. I had more algae issues. Lower and slower has a wider safety zone.

What lighting changes will have a positive impact on the reduction of algae?

Reduce lighting period

Reduce lighting intensity

Reduce lighting period and intensity

Program a "noon" burst of light (ie 3hrs 1.5wpg, 4hrs 3wpg, 3hrs 1.5wpg)

Program a lights off "siesta" (ie lights on 5hrs, off for 5hrs, on for 5hrs)

Change the spectrum/color temperature of lights

I don't know: I never have algae! ;-)
