Having trouble figuring out exactly what I'm dealing with, any help???

[JoshH]

Have some lovely algae growing away in my tank and I can't seem to get a solid ID on my own. So if someone could help me out here that would be awesome

Looks like diatoms, it should go away on its own. It is normal. The shades of red may be some cyano, this may go away as well if not there are remedies for it.

That's kind of what I was thinking but always like a confirmation to make my mind at ease, Thanks!

Chemiclean or “red slime remover”

Already ordered just in case, not sure I'll use it or just let it go away on its own, depends on how bad it gets, thanks again

Looks like new tank syndrome, it will go away on its own, be patient.

Thank you for the welcome, I've been lingering around for a while and finally have things up and running, hopefully be adoing coral in another few months orso.

Yep, don’t do anything or add anything. Keep doing what you’re doing. It will go away.
