Alage growth while curing liverock

[finind]

the liverocks were bought a week ago

saw small amount of short green and red hair alage grown on them 2 days ago

could have left the container in the balcony and forgot the sunlight may reach it.

the rock smells ok since day1 and now is even better so only did air-ing and water change every 3days so far, while waiting for the tank.

now continue to air it, water change and coverup to minimize stray light

what else can I do to kill off the alage?

thanks

use algae fix for short term solution.

long term solution....use rowaphos or pura phos.

during cycling, try not to do frequent water change...u may do so towards the end of cycling....

not cycling... is curing liverock

water change is trying to reduce / remove the "nutrients" or decay if any

ya remove phosphate ... ok

Remove from light source. the algae will die off naturally.

typically how long will it take for them to start dying off after cover up?
