    No lights on during the curing should take care of the algae

    Was it ok to collect the rock? The Florida area is extremely regulated about collection isn't it? I would clean the rock if it seems to be getting out of hand.

    i would let it go and see what happens because you are cycling your rock so after cycling your probably going to get different alges on it anyway. its all part of the rock aging

    You probably have to resize them and make them smaller. HTH
