As expected the algae bloom came after about a week. I think this is a normal reaction until all the animals and plants get balanced. Fish seem to be OK with it. Put some finer filter material in the bucket, and plan to get some live clams to take care of the problem. Then will get more plants growing later. Maybe need to get a nitrate test kit, so we can keep track of the water quality.
