macro algae

[willcon]

Hey this is the 5th day of running my tank,and i allready have some macro algae in the sump. i was wondering if it is any good to have that during the cycle. should i keep it in there or throw it awway(its becoming a nuisence*sp with all the branches of it gettin in the filter and clouding up the main tank with debris) should i just wait till after the cycle is finished to introduce and macro algae or is it fine this early?
Plus i have a bunch of hair algae(the stringy algae) should i just leave it alone or scrape it out?

you could run the macro if you wanted, but it is not neccessary. And as far as the hair algae, I would just wait until you get your clean-up crew to take care of the hair algae.
