Hi I have recently aquired the following setup.
Juwel Vision 260
Red sea Protein Skimmer
UV steraliser
External Fluval 303 canister filter
uprated internal juwel filter
The setup came with a blue damsel, two yellow chromis's and a silver batfish. 2 peices of live rock and some anenomes.
lighting is 2 x white 1 x blue strip lights.
My concern is we transported 50% ( 130 litres ) of mature water however the other 50% was made up of treated tap water - dechlorinated and salt added. Its been about a week and i am just checking to see if the algae i am seeing is normal even if 50% of the water was mature ?
All filters are original so bacteria should be present in them.
The algae is light green covering glass and rocks - the living rocks are ( and were ) covered in a green hair like algae. sand has a middle brown colouring too.
Any help appreciated. I am hoping for a reef aquarium.
Thanks - Readings Nitrate 2.5, Nitrite 0, Phosphate 0.15
