Hi All,

I am relatively new to Saltwater and would love some assistance with my current situation. I was a little excited with the cycle and did have lights on including white for some time ( I have learned since then).

Can someone please assist in identifying the algae growth and let me know if it is in fact GHA or something else and what the best course of action would be if that is the case. All the photos of GHA seem to be when it it more developed, which is why I am asking.

The tank was cycled with dry rock and substrate and I currently do weekly water changes of up 10% - 20% depending on amount of fish waste. I feed Vitalis Marine pellets once a day.

Age - 2 months
Tank - Redsea Max Nano
Temp - 25°C
Salinity - 35ppm
NH3 - 0.00
NO2 - 0.00
NO3 - 10
pH - 8.2

Mg - 1400
dKH- 7
PO4 - 0.2
