Did you use live rock from your previous system or is everything in the tank new?
If new it might be just the usual cycle of algeas that we always seem to go through on a new tank.
If you used old live rock it could be that it had a bunch of crud that had settled in the rock and moving it has released the nutrients to feed the algea.
You might want to think about hooking up a phosban reactor for a little while to try and clear up the algea. Or borrow a sea hare from someone for a little while to chow down.

Blasto's in Fuge:


Fuge Reactor (By attaching a bag of chemi pure directly to the input line on my fuge I've created the same effect as a reactor, because theres a distributed flow directly into the chemipure media it causes it to constantly move but stay inside of the chemi pure bag. This essentially acts as a filter sock also but Ive you really notice the difference when it makes the water crystal clear)


Got Milk?:

So I added 10 Snails, some livesand and a Bunch of Cheato/ Grape in addition to the RO water change the tank is almost growing NO algea now and the Kenya is open and Happy on both Stems !!! When I get home from work today il post some picks, thanks for the advice though. Im still interested in any suggestinos for the inhabitants of the tank.
(Oh and I forgot I bought a POM POM crab from *removed*a while back and I could never find it. Now that my tank is smaller I saw him last night out on the rocks!)
