I purchased this existing setup from someone 3 weeks ago. I kept the rock, sand, fish, frags, and about 20% of the water. I have added 10 days apart the 2 large pieces of rock on the left and right along with the snowflake eel and a cleanup crew of snails and hermit crabs. Since initial set up I have done 2 5gallon water changes. Over the last few days I have had a large acceleration of algae growing on the sand and the new rock I first added on the left. Is this normal? Something to be concerned with? Have I added rock too soon?
In my sump I have filter sock, foam (from old setup), protein skimmer and an 11 oz pack of chemi pure.
Ph is at 8.2. Ammonia 0. And nitrate 10ppm.
