Hi all,
I just got my new PC lights and they have made a great improvement in my tank. My corals seem especially fond of it. (i think the polyps are smiling).
I also seem to have brought about a sort of algae bloom. Should this be expected? It is bright green in color and is starting to cover my LS and DSB. I know it is not the dreaded CYANO. The color is all wrong and the EVIL CYANO never got on my LR.
Also, i added to my SB the same night I added the lights. I added about 3/4" depth all around. I did rinse the sand thouroughly first and then mixed it in with the existing SB. My tank stayed crystal clear. Do you think my water quality will go through any type of mini cycle while incorporating the new sand into the bacteria bed?
Always needing something,
Howard
