The lighting should be fine but the water looks terribly dirty. You should get on top of that as soon as you can

I was thinking that also, that the tank was super cloudy/dirty

The tempeature in Kelven is what influences the color spectrum. Warmer (redder) is lower ie 3000K, Natural sunlight is 5500K and cooler (bluer) is a higher temperature rating like 10000K and above. The led fixture you have is most likely around 6700k with blue bulbs to give the appeariance of a higher K rating. Blue light will tend to wash out some of the red color. So you would idealy want somthing with a warmer color to get the red to pop. With the T5 double fixtures I would use a combination of 6500 & 10000K even though the 10000K bulb gives a blue/white light it does have a strong spike in the red so this combo worked best for me.

As far as the algea goes cut down on the amount of time the light is on. How deep is the tank and what are the specs on the fixture in lumins? The light might be too much for the tank. IDK what you have but cutting back on the duration will help.

Any way I could make more reds pop and my tank is 5ftx2ftx2ft also if I didn't use the moon light with only blues on would that help also if I I remove the blue LEDs would that help
Lumins as far as I read we're 2200 mabey 3000

Once u have a light, there is really no way to make it better or brighter without replacing the bulbs. If I were you I would get that water as clear as possible with some more water changes and possibly some more filtration. Personally I use t5 ho bulbs and it makes the colors pop.

That doesn't look like algae to me, from your other pics posted it appears to be a cyanobacteria outbreak. Nasty stuff to get rid of.
