Are you sure your tank ph is 1.025. you do mean specific gravity= salt level
ph should be 8.1-8.4
I wouldnt completely depend on the LFS for water test.They dont make money by simply testing water but by telling you your water is fine and then selling you livestock, so be careful. i highly suggest you buy a complete saltwater test kit to self moniter your tank.
And ensure your filtration system is sufficient enough for you tank. Also are you using RO water for top off?very important.
you will always have some algae in the tank. to help control you can make sure that the tank is not recieving extended hrs of light/ filter is working efficiently/ and when you're convinced the tank has cycled you may want to add a clean up crew.
im sure the rest of the folks on 3reef are much more experienced than i am and can help you out even further.
good luck and best wishes with the new tank. _________ 29 g biocube First tank ever
