Hi and thanks for the ad. Fairly new to marine aquariums. I currently have a small tank with seahorses which I absolutely love. They are beautiful creatures and serene to watch. I have just embarked on a bigger venture with a 1200 x 500 mm reef tank which I am going to have soft corals. In my 3rd week of cycling and can't wait for my tank to be ready to start. I have just started to have a bit of algae bloom. So I am hoping this is normal. On my seahorse tank I didn't have it this bad. Only difference is I have been running lights on new tank (low light) and don't have my heater yet. ?

Welcome to R2R

you will get there. Get the heater running that helps competitors and likely clean it up for you

Welcome! Glad you joined. Light is fuel for algae. If you do a little research, you'll see you have options for dealing with algae. If you do a little research on coral dips and practice dipping when introducing new corals, you may reduce the amount of really pesky types of algae battles.

This is a great reference book type article I still refer:

Welcome!!! I've always wanted a seahorse tank. They seem pretty intimidating though.
I look forward to seeing your journey!
