Nice setup! Congratulations on the new adventure!!!

Thank you.

I just managed to get rid of all the algae by using a Reef Flux/Vibrant combo.

I dosed with Chemiclean about 3-4 days ago to get rid of the red cyanobacteria, but it hasn't killed it all off yet.

I ordered a gallon of phytoplankton and 50,000 copepods from RUSalty and it should be here tomorrow. I already put a whole thing of OceanMagik in and about 3 and a quarter jars of EcoPods from Algaebarn.

I have a cup of clean chaeto coming for the refugium by Saturday.
