So my tank has just finshed it's cycle. Yesterday it had 0 ppm nitrites and ammonia and 10 ppm nitrate. BTW it's a 46 bow with a good amount of LR no snails, crabs or fish yet. I just started to get the brown diatom algae yesterday.
A few days ago - before my cycle ended - some hair algae started popping up and now it's starting to get everywhere. I'm thinking it's briarium and it probably came in on my LR?? Or could it just be hair algae feeding off the nitrates? I've only used RO water.
Here are some pics of it on the rock and on the glass. Any thoughts??
