Im new and still learning
so i wish i could put a pic up, but i dont have a camera that could get a good enough pic of this to show. if anyone would like i can put it up but i promise it dont help lol. so i have my tank which is still cycling, for about a week in. got some live rock from the store. its been in there about a week. there is now a purple algae growing on it. i looked it up and it could be cyanobacteria or coralline however i cant see a difference in the pics online lol. i picked a piece of rock up and tried to rub it, it doesnt come off easy, i rub my nail on it and it will then come off with a little force not too much though. its like a redish purple color more purple than redish. so my question is is it the coralline or the cyanobacteria? or some other crap i dont want in there. and again ill load the pic if anyone wants but i promise it wont help lol. and no matter what it is, is it a good or bad thing to be in there? TY
