Good or bad?

[ChadyP]

Cycled my tank for 2 months before adding anything. One month was in darkness. Now starting last week I have this green algae growth. Try to knock it off with a brush but no good.
So is this good algea or bad algae? And what causes it?
Thanks!

Perfectly normal part of the new tank maturing process As the tank ages, you're going to see a whole bunch of colors It'll go away on its own.

Algae is normal in a new tank. What would be really troubling would be having no algae.

Since the rock could release some kind of NO3 and your tank is new, it is normal, keep parameter in check, No3 and Po4 especially, when the tank is mature, it is not a big deal
