As the title states, I need help with this id. I don't think it is anything to major but it want to ask before it get out of hand. All help is appreciated.. it seems to be a bit stringy.

Parameters were just checked today

Salinity. 1.026
Ammonia. 0
Nitrate. 0
Nitrite. 0
Ph. 8.0

That is the only parameters I check as this is just my fowlr tank, I haven't set up reef yet. Tank has been up and running for about 6-7 weeks.

this looks like a new tank. Are you talking about the faint traces of green on those rocks? It appears to simply be normal green algae that grows in all tanks.
Yes mam, it looks more yellow in the tank though. Dang cell phone pics, lol. It is a rather new tank.. I have only had it going for about 7 weeks. I just wanted to see if it was a reason to worry or normal

totally normal at this stage. Any clean up crew you add will help keep it under control, though keep in mind that at some point your rock will be covered in one form of algae or another (including coralline algae which can be green, purple, pink, red, even blue).
