Hi all,
I recently upgraded from a 64L tank to a 125L tank and moved everything over including my live sand.
I've done a few water changes, brought Marine LED's ( Arcadia Stretch ) added a few bits of live rock, ordered a skimmer ( waiting for delivery ) added a Red Sea starfish, Giant Turbo Snail and a Cleaner Shrimp!
I tested my water yesterday before buying these and everything was spot on, although my Nitrate was 0.5 which is no biggy.
Today I've woken up and noticed my sand bed is almost covered in brown like algae which is also growing up the glass.
Is this normal and nothing to worry about?
Pictures for reference.
