    i am downsizing to new tank cycle has been going for six weeks, no algea breakouts at all. i am gonna use exsiting rock from a larger tank i have had for 9 months, this tank never did so well but did have a bit of the green blue, almost black algea on wall and powerheads. couldnt ever get rid of but never was a nuisance. if i transfer rock over to new tank will the propblem keep reaccuring.::)

    As long as there are the nutrients to feed the algae it will continue. The key is to have proper management of nitrates, proper skimming & proper flow coupled with a good CUC.
