Answer
Hi Jennifer

I have LED lights in several of my tanks and have no algae problems. Make sure you are doing your weekly 25% water changes and siphon the gravel. Excess food and waste can cause an algae bloom, as well as cloudy water. Below is a link to help you further with green cloudy tank water.
