What are the main contributing factors in a Cyno outbreak? Fix?

I've been experiencing the same thing and the only idea I have as to what caused it was changing my lights. I recently modded an Aqualight pro to have the MH plus 4 T5HO's rather than the PC suppliments. When I went to get the T5HO bulbs, Mike at hidden reef convinced me to try some new ones he had (50K) and I'm suspicious that they are causing the problem.

lights not only shift colour but they lose more then 50% of their light output in the first year, at least Flourescent lamps, MH keep brightness longer but lose their peak wavelengths and become a more ballanced light that turns more yellow and grows algea better.

But do you think new lights in a spectrum we don't usually use (really high at 50k) would cause this?
