problem with 65 watt pc and algea

[smalltimer]

I recently replaced 2 no actinic with 2 65 watt custom sea life actinic bulbs, to go with my hqi 250 mh, I am seeing an increase in algae, green on glass and the begining of hair..........anyone else had problem with this, my trates are .2, phophates 0, don't understand....corals look awesome, sps and softs, bubble about to burst, but darn algae starting up, could it be increase in wattage and intensity

Many times a major lighting upgrade will produce an algae bloom.Sometimes even just replacing old bulbs can cause one.This is why you should start with the new lights on for a minimal ammount of time each day,then after a week or so slowly start increasing the duration...You may want to cut back on the ammount of "ON TIME" per day,and see if that eliminates the algae...This may take a week or so...
