Just a thought..
When my MH are on, and I turn off the actinics, visually I see no diff.The MH overpower the actinics. So I set my timers up to turn the acts off when the MH came on and back on when the MHs went out. Seems I had alot more algea on the glass with this method and more growth on my LR. Did not change any feeding habits or add anything new to the tank. Just a coinc or should the acts run with the MHs ? I see no diff but looking for opinions.

IMO the actinics should be on with the MH, I run mine together and it does make a difference. As you stated, it sounds like your MH are overpowering them. You should look into adding more actinics or more powerful ones.
