Brand new to FOWLR and looking for guidance

Well that idea isn't gonna work-.- apperntly filling critter cage with more then half of water may cause cage to warp.

Okay this is different, my rock starting to turn rust orange. Assuming this is an algae bloom after my cycle. I'm guessing now would be a good time to add a CUC.

Probably diatoms - and yes, there are things that eat them.

Sounds about right from what I'm reading and how it's growing in the tank it fits. Which tell me I'm at least in the right direction in steps. I guess we're start looking in to a CUC
