Can anyone ID this algae? Not sure if it's normal or not as this is my first tank.
Tank information:
5.5 gallons
Running Aquaclear 20, carbon and biomax
79-80 degrees
Using API test kits so I suppose these are kind of estimates. I noticed these tests can be very easy to mess up. Especially, when required to shake the vial, you leak some water which can throw off some tests that require you to add more solution after shaking. Also, the color can be whatever color you want it to be if you look at it a certain way.
PH: 7.9
Ammonia: 0
Nitrite: 0
Nitrate: 10
Calcium: 400
Alkalinity: 8-9kh
Magnesium: 1440
Phosphate: .25ppm
Salinity: 1.026
Live stock:
1 Purple stylophora frag
1 Zoa frag
1 Tiger pistol shrimp
4 turbo snails
about 6 of the smaller snails
Here is the picture of it:
