so , i think i jumped the gun on adding about 20 pounds of new Marco rock into my tank too early i think and i am getting a mini cycle. i cycled or thought i did for about 3 weeks. maybe less though. i through in some live rock i had and put water from my tank into the bucket and let it simmer. checked all params needed for a cycle and everything was good so i put two pieces in the sump and one into the main display. starting to see some algae bloom happening on my glass and on some frags / frag disks. my question would be
- Should i wait it out and leave the rock in the tank to go through the cycle or should i pull the rock out and let it cycle outside the tank?
- Am i going to run into problems with the algae taking over or is my routine of water changes and running carbon and gfo going to be sufficient?
Any insight on this would be greatly appreciated
