I had all green algae but I changed my light bulb and put a 6500K lamp in and now it's all turned red. I have a 58 gal tank with a factory hood. I also have an actinic blue lamp but it's probably about 1 year old now. Any suggestions!!!! Seems like I get the Ick cured and then something else happens, this hasn't been a good reef tank experience. Also have a yellow tang and a blue damsel and a few crabs and snails. Lost 3 fish to ick, still learning!!!!! Lamp sets off of the water about 3 inches if that is important. Any help would be appreciated

are the bulbs old? does the algae come right off if you wipe it with your fingers or is it really attached good?
