So I have some green algae growing. Tank is two months old. It isn’t green hair or green bubble or any of those. Is this bad? It isn’t grown fast and doesn’t look ugly at all. Is this a good sign?

Ok.Normal part of the uglies I'm sure at only 2 months in
Ok. Thanks for the info!
For most of us, it's part of the cycle of new tanks...a rite of passage of sorts. In most systems, it usually works itself out once nutrient loads stabilize, and in some cases, you may have some fish or inverts that consider it food.So I have some green algae growing.
