I'm trying to get my saltwater tank set up to have corals and I bought two white blubs and 2 blue bulbs. I have a 55 gallon tank. Is there such a thing as having too much light. I also been having problems with brown alge growth. I been noticing that the fish hide after 6 hours and the corals are not opening up all of the way at times.

Not really, but those bulbs are probably too little. I recommend 2-175watt and 2-VHO for proper reef lighting in a tank that size.
