Water is about 78 , ammonia seems to be leveling off maybe at .050, ph is about 8.0? Nitrate is .050. These readings are my best interpretation of an API master test kit. I have just started to notice some dark green, almost brown algae on the live rock. Here is a picture of it. I have some live rock on top of some old rock that had been out of water for a month or so. I have been told it will regenerate eventually. I have not done any water changes yet, although I did add some salt water because the level was down and it looked like to me the salinity could be a little higher. Although I'm not using a refractometer, I'm using a floating salinity tester. I think the algae growth is normal, any thoughts or comments?
