yman182 Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Hello, I have had my tank setup for about a week now and have been monitoring it. This is my first saltwater experience! Today I started noticing some green growth on the live rock. Is this good growth or should I clean this off? Thanks, Yury Link to comment

Where did you get the rock? Link to comment
yman182 Posted August 26, 2012 Author Share Posted August 26, 2012 I got it at a lfs. I am worried it is the beginnings of hair algae or something like that. Link to comment
ajayjack Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Is it round and bubbly or flat like leaves? Link to comment
yman182 Posted August 26, 2012 Author Share Posted August 26, 2012 Is it round and bubbly or flat like leaves? I would say more flacky and stringy. Not bubbly or round at all. Link to comment

yman182 Posted August 28, 2012 Author Share Posted August 28, 2012 Hi again, So i took more pictures on the algae...You guys still think it is the good stuff or something I need to worry about and cleanup? I am not sure if my tank is ready for a CUC yet. -Yury More pics of different algae Link to comment

yman182 Posted August 28, 2012 Author Share Posted August 28, 2012 Ok thank you. I was worried with the bubble on the end that it is bubble algae. Link to comment
yman182 Posted August 30, 2012 Author Share Posted August 30, 2012 A little update on this. I bought a CUC the other day and they made short work of any algae I was worried about! Link to comment
