Default Re: lighting upgrade but not to grow coral

Algae needs 2 things to grow - light & nutrients. If it only has 1 it won't take hold. You can increase your lights just be sure to keep the nutrient levels low by running a skimmer or by regular water changes. Clean-up crews work wonders as well.
