Tank is cruising along...it's reading 10 on nitrates and 0 for amonia/nitrite. I'm going to let it cruise another week and then do a w/c and possibly add some cheato to the media basket.

do you have lighting in the filter area? If not the chaeto will not survive

I have the nano-glo fuge light for the chamber. The back of the tank is clear to allow light to shine in.

Algae will build up on the back so be sure to scrape it occasionally to make sure the light is getting through.

Clean-up crew added !!

Like a couple have said, that algae doesn't appear to be bryopsis because my emerald crab started chowing down on it instantly....I did spot an aiptasia though
