Interesting the only bio load was the live rock... and the creatures in it / the water flow is moderate to high and I had not done any feeding prior to that algae showing up... to much light? |

With any new system, you will have your cycle, this does also include a time of possible algae, slime, etc. If things are in check, this should decipate. Of course I still recommend a clean up crew, but as I stated in my first post. To assist in the clean up of your tank, NOT to cure an issue within. Good luck!!! Have Fun!!! EDIT: OH YEAH, WELCOME TO CANREEF!

![]() Hi guys, ive been reading your posts on HA and found that there is some great advice here, however i have a question on cycling. I am just about to start but am not sure on a coupke of things....Once rock, sand and water are in tank, should lights be off or on? Should i throw a shrimp in there from the grocery store??? Do i get a clean up crew right away? Do i start water changes right away???? any advice would be appreciated
