I am a month into my aquarium and used aquacultered live rock, established live rock from LFS and some dry rock along with live sand. We had a very quick cycle and tank is holding steady on 0 ammonia, 0 nitrites, and 10 nitrates. We do weekly water changes. We currently only have inverts in the tank as we are going for a target species that requires a mature stable tank so we feed our inverts and are consistently seeing these parameters stay steady❤️ We have refugium that houses chateo (sp?) as well.
We started to see Diatoms last week (maybe a little more) and are now noticing this algae appear on some of the rocks and the back glass.
What kind of algae is it and is there anything I need to do?
