My 20 gallon tank is going through what many on this site call the ugly stage. It's been running for about 2 months. The diatom problem is slowly fading and now some green algea is appearing along with what I think is hair algea. Is all of this just part of a new tank maturing or is this something that I have to take care of before it gets out of hand. All my water parameters are good and I do weekly water changes. I'm running a protein skimmer along with a HOB filter with chemi-pure elite. I have some snails, a serpent star, 2 clowns, and 2 small chromis. All seem to be doing just fine. Its just that the tank doesn't look very good
