Is the Ro water you are using from the grocery store? If you have a tds meter check the RO water before mixing it with salt . I don't trust the grocery store RO water units
 I had some problems in the past with their "RO" water. I purchased a home RO system and haven't had a problem since. Hope your water clears up for you

What lights are on? I started my system with tapwater, and ran real bright T5 aquablues almost from the getgo, and never had green algae. Didn't run phosban/rowaphos or nothing, then too, and my first week of water changes was with tapwater. I had diatoms for about a week, then hair algae for about 3 weeks, though...
I think I remember reading that waterborn algae is caused by too little light? maybe those nitrate sponge resins leech chemicals back if they're full? if it's a new tank, liverock cycling could fill them up quickly, causing a belated algae bloom once they leech back?

Saw in another thread you said it's getting better -- so thought I'd ask for an update here
 What do you think turned the tide?

Razz was kind enough to loan me a coralife 36w UV - 12 hours after install, the tank was a white hazy mess (beats green), 2 water changes and many more 2L containers of skimmate later... I'm hoping to be free of the green water again.
