power outage, dead livestock, and now algae, I'm betting you're pretty frustrated right about now. Hang in there though, with what you've told us,...
I would NOT remove light from the tank. You're at the end of the cycle at this point. Leave lights ON if possible to speed things up. Diatoms will...
any possibility your friend topped off with non ro/di water? Only thought here.
wow if I answered no, will it make me an even bigger jack---? ;D
