+1 to Mr. Bill. and good job to you for having a quality clean up crew, of course no one should ever think a good clean up crew makes it ok to let...
I like that you are adding a refugium from the start – so you get an A+ from me :-) As your tank is currently cycling I would not have suggested...
Sometimes bubble algae just happens, comes in on your new rock. Thus when removing manually if you pop a few you won’t see a population explosion if...
Yes, increase the water changes to weekly. Remove all the HA manually and test the water often - you may see a spike in the culpret once you...
Do you use RO/DI? As mentioned, if you have hair algae than you have excess nutrients that are being consumed at the same pace as generated – thus...
Don't worry about the sand or placement, he will find his home on his own and there is little to nothing you can do about it. As for feeding, you...

Home RO units are not only too slow but they are not as good as the other units and they should not be used for aquarium use. Keep up with the...
