To keep my glass clear i need to scrape the glass multiple time a day due to fast algae growth on the glass. Is this the same for everyone else or is there anything I can do to slow down the algae? My light is a redsea50 led I'm currently keeping it at 62% blues 16% white light.

Check your nitrates and phosphate. Multiple times a day is a lot of scraping. I can go about 3 days before I start to notice the glass getting dirty.

What angle lenses do your lights have? I cut my scraping down to about 20% what it used to be by simply angling the lights about 10 degrees "up in the back"
