Seriously though, algae blooms are normal during or right after you cycle. You can typically avoid this by "borrowing" 3 gallons of water from an established, healthy reef. Thats what I did. One day it was empty, next day it had 5 different softies in it, and no algae!
Yea, its my first SW tank. Unfortunately I don't have access to water from an established tank so I'll just do water changes and wait it out.
