New Tank Algae

[Lofus]

Thanks for the discussions. As I mentoned before, since I used RO/DI and since I have nothing in the tank except live rock and am not adding any food, the only change made to the tank recently is the adition of sand.

I bought the RO in order to keep any unwanted nutrients from getting into the system through make-up or water changes.

I'm going to add some snails and hermit crabs and wait a couple of weeks to see how it goes. I will want them eventually for long term maintenance anyway.

The skimmer is not really pulling anything brown out yet but I just cleaned it again so I'll give it another day or two to settle down.
