new 90 g setup

[robzilla]

i've had this setup for a week now, letting the water cycle..
the rock had a bad case of hair algae growth, i scrubbed and removed as much as possible, now hoping with the use of cheato and reduced lighting it will get under control.


and with the sump setup, i removed the bio balls but the noise generated from
the this area of the sump......
what have others with this setup done? did you leave the bio balls in place and rinse them to eliminate the nitrate factory? how often to rinse them?
