My refugium has been set up for about a week and it's having algae problems up the wazoo. I have green slime algae and brown slime algae everywhere. It's looks disgusting. The refugium is currently circulating water into my main display tank. Is this considered bad? Or is this good since hopefully the refugium will be the one hogging all the nutrients to produce nasty algae and the display tank will keep clean. I currently have nothing in my displa tank except rock and substrate. I am waiting until I get my calcium reactor setup this weekend and then I'll transfer all the coral and fish from the smaller 55g tank to the display tank. I also have yet to turn the lights on the display tank since nothing is actually in there. I haven't had the lights on in the display tank for about a month. Will I be in big trouble when I finally do turn the lights on? Can I make this note anymore confusing?
