Hey guys, I got copepods! Lots and lots of copepods! Must be doing something right...

Brown algae is still everywhere. Nitrites are almost gone I think, I only see a light pink color when I test so its less than .1.... When I initially set up the tank, I bought purified water from a LFS that I fund out later was only RO... I've been using water from Gabe's ever since for topoff which is RO/DI. So maybe thats why I had the algae bloom. Regardless, seeing all those copepods in there makes me think I'm doing ok... Ammonia is 0, nitrates 5. Water gets up to about 81 late in the day...is that too hot?
