Brown Algae...is this a problem?

[BKT]

So is having some type of algae growing on the rocks, be it live or newly placed rocks..is algae present on the rocks ok and part of the process

I look at some of my cured rock and wonder if algae wasn't a great part in the color transformation...

Hey BKT..How long has the tank been setup?..If its new, its part of the process..also depends what type of water you are using..tap or RO/DI..Your best bet is to check your phosphates to see where you stand..knowing that would help out alot..

[BKT]

great thanks...it's pushing two weeks...and from what you folks say, is part of the process..transitioning from tap water to RO water...

Cool, just keep doing your waterchanges with RO/DI from now on and you will be fine, it will eventually go away as soon as the tank stops cycling, dont worry, you are on the right track.

ok, thanks...oh, just noticed alot of small bubbles on the water....I don't believe it was there before...this part of cycling? I have four power heads in the tank so I positioned one to move the water up top...I havn't had the light on all day so I wonder if that has anything to do with it?
