 Algae bloom just after cycling
As many of you may already know I'm in the cycling stage of my reef tank. My question to all of you is some instruction I was given by my lfs regarding the first algae growth. He told me that I should at one point get a lot of brown algae. He recommended to me that I not clean it off until it has turned green. He said that it would look disgusting and that I wouldn't be able to see through the tank during this stage of the tank, but assured me that once all the brown algae has turned green we would introduce some fish into the tank that would take care of cleaning up all the algae. He said that all tanks go through this and it's best that I not touch it until it turns green.
Does this sound right? _________ 180g acrylic, 110g sump, asm g2 skimmer, 1/3hp arctica titanium chiller, kent marine ro/di 4-stage hi-s |
