No lights on during the curing should take care of the algae | |

Was it ok to collect the rock? The Florida area is extremely regulated about collection isn't it? I would clean the rock if it seems to be getting out of hand. _________  Starting over with a 210 RR from All Glass, Lifereef Berlin sump, skimmer (installed) and calcium reactor (ordered).

i would let it go and see what happens because you are cycling your rock so after cycling your probably going to get different alges on it anyway. its all part of the rock aging _________ karla  75 gall, 80 lbs sand, 110 lb lr, 10k pcs, atinics, emperor 400, prizm skimmer, hagen and maxi jet powerheads | |
