Reefing newb
I just set up a 150 gal tank a little over a week ago. I bought someones 110 gal set up and transferred all the live rock, the 29 gal refugium, and as much water as I could take with me (about 85 gal) A couple days later I bought more live rock and live sand from someone who was breaking their tank down too.
I have everything up and running but the water was cloudy so I put a magnum 350 filter on and it cleared things up. I'm guessing I need to get a light on the refugium tank so the algae can grow and do its job filtering. What size would be good? I see some cheap LED lights on ebay or should I go with a small corallife t5?
My other question is about algae growth in my main tank. I have a handfull of snails in there (5-10 maybe) but I've had to scrape the glass already because of the algae. Do I need to add more snails or something else to help with the algae or am I always going to be scraping algae every 5-7 days?
