firemonster20 Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 SO iv had my tank up and running now for over a month and this green sea weed or grass looking stuff is starting to appear on the rocks is this dangerous or your i let it grow? Link to comment
bryantbfusho Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 You probably are feeding too much, it's probably growing due to excess nutrients. Link to comment
jadedanime Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Probably a bad algae. A pic would help confirm. Lots of ways to kill the stuff, but some algae is hardier than others. Link to comment

firemonster20 Posted April 30, 2013 Author Share Posted April 30, 2013 So far this is whats starting to grow What could be causing this red looking stuff building up on the glass? Link to comment
MeepNand Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Cyano? Don't worry about it, just do a few extra water changes and it'll go away in a month. Link to comment
firemonster20 Posted April 30, 2013 Author Share Posted April 30, 2013 Wound it be ok to pick all of it off the rocks? Link to comment
Speaker73 Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 no reason why that should hurt. I would take the rocks out and scrub it with a brush in that area if you can and possibly use the H2O2 method to kill any algae/macro that's there. Link to comment
jadedanime Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Cyano can be hard to kill. But as long as you do enough water changes it should go away on its own. But to the point generally picking things off rocks doesnt get rid of them, it just picks most of it off. It will grow back. But again, cyano is a bacteria, so picking it off isn't really picking. You can siphon it off if you don't want to look at it. Link to comment
