Thanks guys. Put in 70 pounds of dried live rock. Didn't know to cook it. By the time I bought a phosphate test kit I was around 5ppm. Glad I caught it before the algea started. So I'm doing 2 water changes a week, and running gfo. Got it down to .75 ppm so I'm on the right track. Hopefully I can force it down with water changes and keep any leaching on track with gfo. Nitrates have been below 10ppm so it's not out of control but guess it's all part of a new tank.

Do you have any corals in the tank yet? If not, keep the lights off as it will help keep algae at bay while you can get the phosphate down. Also, tossing a ball of chaeto in the sump with a light and a powerhead to keep it turning does wonders and is cheap and super easy to set up.
