ok 1 month in the new set up... green alge everywhere.. any good ideas how to rid of this or should i let it go thru its cycle all test kits reading ok....????
 
Let it go. If you try to get rid of it at this stage it will just come back and you will delay the cycling process. No need to start putting chemicals in the tank. You can reduce it by shortening that hours of light or making sure your not getting direct sunlight on the tank. What ever you do don’t put that water clarifier stuff in there.
tell us about your new tank.
 
150 gallon in wall starphire tank.. pics are in my gallery since i dont know how to post a pic on here. trying to get my shop set up for building glass tanks its taking time i ordered glass for a 36x36x21 and a 2x2x2 cube rimless. blk silicone since i hate clear.
 
A month is kind of a long time for it to be green everywhere. It could be the sand that you've used or your light period is too long. I suggest lowering the light period or eliminating it all together.

No corals in the tank right?
Are you feeding the tank?
Are you skimming the tank?
