I realize that doing a PWC during the cycle can prolong the process. However, I am combating an algael bloom very early in the game, even with the lights running 3-4hrs/day. I suspect (although I haven't tested yet) that my PO4 is quite elevated. I am contemplating a 50% PWC with RO/DI water this week and one next week to bring the levels down.
What would you all do? Run the cycle as is and deal with the algae later or try to get a handle on it now?
