Ok my 120 gallon tank has been running for almost 8 months now. I have won a battle with cyano by just doing regular weekly water changes and feeding less and also cut back on the lights. I have since ramped the lighting back up and have alot of brown algae on the rocks and sand. It is not diatoms i went thru that bloom and know what it looks like.
So i had a BRS GFO reactor deluxe that i have never used so i figured i would hook it up. I used the BRS High Capacity GFO as well. It has been running for 5 days now. All corals are perky and nice and i do see the algae looking like it is starting to recede. What i don't understand is before the GFO was added i was cleaning off my glass of algae every 4-5 days. After running GFO i seem to have to clean it everyday. Shouldn't it be the other way around. Is this normal when first starting GFO up?
