Re: MikMcgyver's 125 Build
Yes - I had it once (in an established tank). If it is the same thing, it's an algae bloom.... As this is a new setup I would be tempted to leave it. If you want to get rid of it though you'll need to buy a UV sterilizer - This is the reason I bought one - took it two days to clear once I switched it on.

Re: MikMcgyver's 125 Build
It's difficult to see in the pictures, but it does look like the water is green (yellow?) - The only other thing I could think it would be is if something you have in there is staining the water... I hope it's just algae...

Re: MikMcgyver's 125 Build
Are you using RO water?
BTW, besides from the algae outbreak, your tank looks freakin' awesome. I really like your aquascaping. When you tank is cycled, you should find someone who can scrape you off some coraline to seed you tank with. I seeded my 10 gallon with coraline and in no time it was full of purple.

Re: MikMcgyver's 125 Build
yeah, it looks like you are getting an aglae bloom. you may want to leave you're lights off for a few days. mine did that when I first set it up, I didn't know any better than to leave my lights on for 12 hours a day. needless to say after the third or fourth day of the water turning green I had hair algae growing everywhere. it took me six months to get rid of that crap!
