I have a 55 gallon tank with two Viparspectra LEDS. Both have identical settings. The left side of tank has NO algae. The right side has CONSTANT algae growth on glass, rocks and also surface. Both lights are same distance from water and were purchased at the same time about 6-7 months ago.

Any idea are appreciated. View attachment 16539

Any natural light from window or doorway hit that area?
Windows with blinds closed about 12 feet from tank. So only indirect. Strange part is that only one set og LED's causes the growth.There is zero algaae on other half of same tank

What kind of rock did you use. I could see algae growing on the dry ro k if you used a mix of dry and live.

How long has the tank been up and running.
