cycle (algae) stages
«

when setting up the 150 gallon I tried to use as much of the water from the 75 as I could, and I used all of the live rock from the 75. I am still using my old refigium in efforts to help curb/speed up the process.
just wondering (its been forever since I set up a tank) what are the stages of cylcing for the algae (right now I have very little brown algae showing up) nothing major.

It depends. Typically there's a diatom bloom, then cyano, then green hair algae, followed by coralline and sometimes bubble algae. You can have several at once or skip some.
