Hello All,
I have a new Red Sea Nano Max Tank. Put it all together about 2.5 weeks ago and a few days ago I noticed that I have some kind of algae all over my sand/rock/walls. I'm trying to figure out what was done incorrectly. All my test results look good! No nitrites or nitrates.
Today I did my first 10% water change. I even purchased my own RODI filtration and mixed the water with salt to the correct salinity/temperature.
Is it possible that I messed up when I used treated tap water when setting up my tank?
Some articles are saying that the algae is just a "normal" process of a new tank cycle.
Please advise. I am new to this hobby.
Thank you all!
