Hello everyone,
Good progress on the cycling front. My Ammounia is testing at zero and my Nitrite's are coming down, now at about 2 ppm. I thought I had cynobacteria growing, but after some more research it looks like I was mistaken and its a brown algae bloom.
First Obligatory full tank pic:
The brown algae is growing long strands across the rock and the sand, and there a many little microbubbles attached to it:
Is it time to invest in a couple crabs and snails to clean up? Or will resolve itself as the cycle completes? There is some green algae just starting to grow as well.
Finally, there seems to be a small plant growing on one my rocks, its black from the top and green from the bottom. What is it?
Thanks as always :-)
