Algae Bloom

26 Gal. Fluval 304, Formosa DX,

 

You could probably use another 12 or so lbs of live rock. most of the people on 3reef like to have at least 1-2lb of rock for every gal of water.
Your rock is your primary biological filter but I wouldn't do anything untill your bloom is over

 

thanks. I'm definately getting more live rock, but at $7.50 a lb (here in town) it's a bit much. I've found it online ranging from $4 to $5.50 a lb... so I think I'll be going that rout for the rest.

 

Just did a test and NH's = 0, NO2 = 0, pH = 8. It's definately very brown in there now too

 

just take your time go slow I think your clown will be alright :thumbs_up

 

Well, as of this morning, the algae has all but cleared up. Thanks for the help everyone.
SHould I do my first water change now?

 

Yes, good idea
