Aquarium Advice FINatic
So Ive had this tank for about a month now. It is already cycled do to the fact that everything in it came from other aquariums. My readings are:
NO3 = 20ppm
NO2 = 0
KH = 250ppm
pH = 8.4
ammonia= 0.2ppm
My problem is my LR is covered in coraline but now it is being taken over by a green algae and my sand is starting a growth of brown spots that I think are diatoms. The sand is the only thing that did not come from a mature tank. I purchased a sleeper goby and he seems to enjoy the "diatoms" but the green algae I'm not sure about.
Any thoughts on what the green algae is and what to do about it
