OK well ive had my tank running for about a month now, still havent gotten fish. i have a 20 G. and im running a filter and a powerhead in the tank. I also have Live Sand, and 5lbs of Live Rock, I know i prob should have more. but ive been waiting to get fish until the tank was ready and all the water tests came out ok. its been two weeks since my last water test and then the results were good, but now im seeing a lot more algae in the tank than i used to and the live rock is covered with a brown algae. and there are a few spots of green. So im starting to get a little impatient cause i really want to have fish but i also want to know if it would be best for me to save up at get a protein skimmer and more live rock to help filtration. money is a bit of a problem, im in college, so it comes slowly...if the water is testing ok, would it still be ok to put fish in there?, just looking for all the opinions i can get on this. Thank you in advance.
