The algae problem seems to be resolving itself thanks to TCLynx and others suggestion of wrapping the fish tank and blocking as much sunlight as possible. I noticed after a few days my water seems to be less green and more clean ... which is a great thing.

Still no fish in the cycling system but our chemistry has been improving. I am still doseing 2 oz. of ammonia a day and the ammonia and nitrite levels return to zero or near zero within 24…

Can't seem to get anything accomplished this week due to all of the rain. Bought 10 bags of Stalite on Saturday and have not been able to rinse them and add them to my grow bed. Maybe later today, since they are forecasting for the rains to subside.

Anxious to get my plants going and finish cycling up my system.
