Maybe nothing but thought I'd ask. Tank is about a month old. 54 corner with a cpr hob fuge (about 4 gallons of volume). Amn/trites/grates, 0/0/<5. I used live everything so a quick mini cycle that lasted about 2 days. Phophates, I'll no more tomorrow after water testing but I do use ro/di and last test was zero tds. Live stock, pair of clowns, yellow watchman goby, green banded goby, hi fin red banded goby, hi color blending, cleaner shrimp and other inverts (snails, hermits, about 4 porcelain crabs, pompom crab and a couple in id'd crabs in the fuge) I don't think I'm a heavy feeder. About a cube of mysis a week or so. So is this algae just typical new tank algae? There's also a bit of this in the sand. I should mention, I never had any sort of diatom bloom. The live rock was a mixture of about 40-50 Petco and 25+ pds from tbsaltwater. The pics with the algae were from my 20 gallon tank and were scrubbed before going in. This is what they look like 3 weeks later.
