I have a 125 gal tank with fish,inverts,LR,LS (18 months old) I thought I would add more light to add coral. I added 2 96w smart lamps to the tank. It was alot brighter but over about a month I noticed the my coraline alge was dying off and I started getting brown alge at a rapid rate which required way more cleaning. I have gone back to my original lights and the coraline alge has started to recover and I'm back to my normal cleaning schedule. When I added the stronger lighting were there other things I should have done to help control the brown alge and was it expected that the coraline would die off?
