I would think that less like may be good. Several ways to get around that. Reduce the number of bulbs if some will work with other taken out. Some fixtures will, some won't. Reduce the amount of time the lights are on. A $4-5 timer is handy for this. Raise the fixture? Propped higher, hung from ceiling, Hung off a curved electrical conduit?
The reason for less light is that you will be less apt to get overrun with algae. Don't sweat it too much. Most of us have some except for those who don't admit it!
High nitrate is no problem with no fish as it is fertilizer for plants. Too much is bad for fish!!!
