Hello,
New to saltwater reef and fish, but have spent a few months reading, watching youtube, hanging at the saltwater section of petco while the wife shops etc.
FAST FORWARD
I bought a used 29 gallon Biocube missing a hood and a Kessil a150w 15K from a friend's father that was in the hobbby a while back.
I also bought a heater, test kits from api and red sea, and box of salt.
I mixed the saltwater together with distilled water and filled the tank and let it run w/o any filter material. just let the heater run. that was 3 weeks ago. I also took some water from my friends fathers tank to "cycle" the tank and added new live sand. that was 2 weeks ago. I came home from work yesterday and suddenly the walls all have a brown algae on them and it looks like a cup of seltzer, little bubbles everywhere. do I clean this all up? Should I start with the filtering of water now? I dont trust my friends father, his stuff is always dying on him and he contradicts himself all the time.
