Ok so a quick question, theres quite a bit of algae thats broken out on the rocks in my tank, some of it is red/brown and very long (im guessing hair algae) and the rest is very pale almost white and short but kinda has a similar look to the red. It almost looks like the red stuff but shorter and is covered in white powder (could be from moving stuff around it may have just picked up all the fine sand dust)
All my parameters are perfect as far as i can tell..
Ammonia 0
Nitrate less than 10
Ph ~8
Phosphate 0
Salt 1.025
I have my lights on from 10am - 7pm each day.
My gut says its just another phase of the tank "setteling" since it is still only around 1 month old. Last time I did a water change I tried syphoning some of it off the rock but all it did was stir up the tank and piss off the clowns. It didn't want to budge.
Is there any advice anyone has? Or should I just carry on my regular maintenance and wait it out?
