Is this a good thing or bad thing?
I just started a 60 gallon saltwater tank first time. I started the cycle on my live rock about a week ago and started seeing seaweed looking stuff and air bubbles on my live rock, is this a good thing or bad?Click image for larger version Name: ImageUploadedByAquarium Advice1396858891.118734.jpg Views: 90 Size: 255.6 KB ID: 232134Click image for larger version Name: ImageUploadedByAquarium Advice1396858911.243786.jpg Views: 122 Size: 246.5 KB ID: 232136

The algae is diatoms, the bubbles just look like air being released from inside your LR.

It's just part of the cycle. Neither good nor bad really....just a stage a tank must go through.
