I am new to reefing and building my first tank. I chose a 30 gallon that wasn't being used. I have been cycling this tank for 6 weeks. An area of the tank where I have some live rock purchased from a local salt shop has developed long LHA. I was advised by a couple of members to clean this up. My CUC has been delayed due to the holidays and Covid. I seeded the tank with apocalypes pods and Ecopods from algae barn. Using B-Ionic Buffer system 1 and 2, added Coraline Algae from the bottle. Have two power heads. Running two filters at the moment. The aqua maxx with a protein skimmer and a small refugium, The other is a HOB. An Obit led system for lighting. If I am missing anything please let me know.

I had to promised "She who must be Obeyed" That she could pick out the fish. While I do all the janitorial stuff. I am sending suggestions to her in-boxYou seem on track!
Any thoughts on your first fish?
Maybe an algae eating blenny of some sort?

Reduce white light intensity and pull as much as you can by hand,. I understand the CUC delay. You could use liquid vibrant dosed at 80% of recommended to start diminishing it.
By any chance , is your tank at or near a window ?
Also are you using RODI water or tap water from the faucet?
