Hi all,
I’m new to the reef tank world and am trying to get to the point where I can start adding corals but I am kinda concerned.
Currently I have a 10g Nano with Reef Breeders Nano running on for 12 hrs. I have one Black Snowflake Clown in here and have passed the Nitrogen Cycle for about 2 weeks now. My current NO3 is about 12-15 ppm. I have pods in the tank and my CuC is a hermit and Nassarous snail which both seem to be doing fine. I’ve had the light’s finally turned on for about a week and haven’t seen any signs of algae yet though, which I’m confused on. I don’t know if I’m lucky (fingers crossed)or if my tanks not able to support any growth (which is more concerning).
I guess my question is - is a week long enough to see algae grow; and if so, should I be concerned that something is going on? Or should I give it another week and see if some algae grows and look back at this post remembering my tanks glory days.
Just looking for some insight - thank you!
