Hi Living Reefs,
My problem is this week I started growing all this red algae (getting worst each day). Here are some pictures of the problem:
I have the following setup:
Tank-75 gallon
Lighting- Coralife Aqualight 48" (2x65watt 10,000k & 2x65 True Actinic)
Protein Skimmer- SeaClone 100
Circulation - 2 X Maxi-Jet 1200
60-70lbs/lr
I setup the tank 3 weeks ago with cured live rock. I never saw the Ammonia spike or nitrite levels spike and they are all are still reading 0. Does that mean I got really good cured live rock and don't have to wait as long for the cycle to finish?.
I haven't done any water changes yet since I was waiting for the tank to properly cycle. Should I assume it is cycled now a begin water changes to reduce the algae build up. Or does anyone have any ideas what I should do before this algae takes over the entire tank. I was hoping to start adding live stock in a couple weeks
.
Thanks,
Lucas
