Well finally starting to stock the new build, here are a couple of pics. Really got lucky at *removed* and found a 30 # piece of LR, will be a great start to the build.

The new tank is up and running for two months now, but boy am I having a hard time with green algae, not hair algae but just the green films, started about two weks ago. I did a 50 gallon change on Sunday, but no difference. I am running 2 of 3 250 watt halides for less than 6 hours a day, and 32 watt T5's aqua sylvania's. The lights are about 10 inches above the water. The feeding is relativly low, but just can't beat the glass algae problem.
I am wondering if my Aqua safe RO/DI which is new is just not pulling the weight I was hoping for, but mind you I have not bought a TDS meter yet. I have about 15 turbo snails , and other inhabitants so far are a smaller Naso Tang, pair of tomoatoe clowns, and a hawk fish, I havn't hooked up the UV Sterilizer yet, but any suggestions sure would be appreciated. I am running a Deltec reactor with fresh carbon? Tests are PO4 <5 Ammonia- Trace or less depending on the day Nitrate <5

Buy some GFO put it in a filter sock or a reactor it should help a bit. Buy That TDS meter!
 Test your new water for phosphates before you put it in your tank as well.

Would'nt sweat the algae to much. Probably just the new tank algae blues. Looks good so far. Could you post some pics or details about your sump?
