Attached is a picture of one of my rocks. I was hoping somebody could tell me what type of algae this is. I'm into the third week of my cycle time and this algae seems to be starting to appear all over my LR.

From the picture, it looks like you have a combination of a diatom bloom and a bit of brown mircoralgae.

Both are completely normal portions of a cycle. It means your on the right track. You will see this growth diminish within another 2 to 3 weeks.

Thanks palaegic. There is also some red stuff in there. Not sure you can see that in the picture. I just want to make sure it's not cyano that I keep hearing about.
