Old MH bulb

I have a 150 WATT DE 14K xm bulb on my tank for about 8 - 10 months. Slowly over the last couple weeks i have begun to get more and more cyano. Is it possible its the bulb.

I guess the best thing to do is buy a new bulb.

All my parameters check out.
8.3PH
1.025
AMM 0
Nirite 0
Nitrate 0
Phos 0
 
I have found that when my bulbs get close to the end of their useful life I have an increase of algae, based on your readings it's probably the case.
