| Hello, I just started my tank tuesday and I have that brown algae all over. I have a 150g with a 20g refuge and 40g skimmer area. From what I know (which is very little) is that this is a Diatom Bloom that happens when you start a new tank. I heard that it is a good idea to put in cheato right away. Is this a good idea or should I wait? If it is a good idea does anybody have some that they are trimming back. I heard this stuff grows really fast. Someone in the area of Syracuse maybe? Or semi close. Thx |

Welcome akite7!
You are correct in your thinking. You may also want to post "Looking for macro algae" in the Buy-Sell-Trade section.
