Reef Tank Update - Refugium Gone Wild!

aprox 2 months into my reef setup. Decided to go with a bigger sump with more refugium space and do a DIY Protein Skimmer. Stay tuned.

cyanobacteria and other bad algae thrive off of ammonia/nitrate, this being said... you need more water changes and less feeding and possibly more clean up crew members to sift ur sandbed and rockwork of detritus.  A bigger space for more water isnt gonna help.  Remember Your not keeping fish and coral.... your keeping high quality water! =)

I bet if you hang some curtains at the window that will cut the light out or down at least.

Your aquarium is looking really nice, that torch is huge lol. You're gonna get algae no matter what you do in the beginning, it's the nature of the beast, especially in closed systems. Easiest fix for the sump, shut it off, disconnect and pull it out and clean it. That'll be your water change as well. Just for precautionary measures, clean the hoses as well if you're worried about cyano reaching the DT.

have you thought about putting the blind inside the indented area where the window is? so the blind is flush with the wall? That way there is no gap for light to shine on your tank. I did that in my room so no light will come through. It helped a lot.

Nice setup. What do you suggest as for floods for 46 gallon bow front. Full reef. I really lie the rgb but don't know about with corals

I'm only in the cycle stage atm so I can't say from exp, but I would stick a phosphate reactor in there. The reactor and cheato combo is what i'm going to be using and should work. I'm running a BRS deluxe reactor and GFO.

*as soon as your tank is completely stable it will go away.

Same thing happened in my fuge as soon as your tanks completely stable. Also don't worry about the green algae in the DT it needs to grow it will go away with time and water changes it not a nuisance as long as it stays on the rock and remains light green if it starts to spread to low light areas I would begin to worry. Also I would reccomend the brs dual reactor so you can run go and carbon or chemipure at the same time so you get the benefits of both plus it won't cost you at the nose.
