Hi Dan,
A protein skimmer will not export nutrients, if it did nobody would have an algae problem, lights are not the cause of algae although they can contribute to the growth, algae is caused by excess neutriants, caused by incorrect filtration, or from the water supply, or overfeeding. The best nutrient control, after you have eliminated the main source is a deep sand bed 4" to 6" in the tank or the refugium. regards, unclenorm.
