Hello All,

Does this look like a normal algae? It’s like like a green film on the rock and sand bed. The tank is a 10g tank that’s a little bit over year old now. I have a few snails and two micro hermits. Should I just it ride and wait for it go away or is there something else I should do?

I’m using a xr15 that 8inch from the tank at amount 17% intensity.

As of last week Hanna checkers
No3: 11.7 ppm
Po4: .24 ppm
Alk: 7.5 dkh

Freshwater filter only or is it? Have you ever used an HOB filter on a saltwater tank?
