Not sure what you consider expensive but I love these http://www.bulkreefsupply.com/algae-free-magnetic-glass-cleaner.html
I have never used this on acrylic myself only glass but it has pads for both.

I have one and love it, I have tried the cheaper brands and none of them come close. Won't take off coralline though
You will need the Great White model due to the 1" thick acrylic

That is some awesome liverock! However long it takes to get rid of the phosphates is well worth it. In my opinion nothing comes close to pukani for viewing pleasure.
If it gets out of hand a turf algae scrubber will at a minimum make the algae grow in your sump versus in the display. Between that and gfo you should have a clear display and eventually have all of the leeching phosphates gone.
If you filled the live sand with ro water and not a premix wouldn't that kill the bacteria in the livesand?

Not sure on if the ro killed anything each bag of sand had bacteria packets in them which I added once the salinity and temp was up to par there was no water in the bags sand was dry with bacteria packets my skimmer is going crazy nice thick dry foam water is very clear I can't wait to get this bad boy cycled so I can slowly start adding some live stock and found out amazing news my neighbor is the owner of eye candy coral and has a big addition on his house just for his coral propigation once up and running ill be there weekly if not daily
As for the algae magnet I was looking at the acrylic version of the great white cleaned the tank yesterday with a step stool and a microfiber only took like 15 minutes but I'd much rather have a magnetic cleaner

Love the rockwork and the best end shots I have seen. Wait...:spin1::spin1::spin1:
Ya I'm thinking the rocks are the reason for the phosphate once cycle is done I'm doing multiple water changes so if I keep my lights off for now when should they come back on I've always cycled with them on I have my blue led for 12 hrs white led for 8.5 and coral plus t5 for 6.5

8.5 is alot for the white LEDs. I would run them no more than six hours considering thats how much the sun is at its highest peak on average during the day. I also agree to cycle tank without lights.
