Just getting my first sign of algea in my tank. It has been setup two months and I've been running my lights for 29 days now for 12 hours a day. I'm using freshwater lights for now (9 watts I believe) as it is currently a FOWLR.

Started with BRS reef saver rock, nature's ocean live sand and since then I have added fish. No inverts or frags have been added yet.

So what are the green dots, good or bad?

The brown spots are diatoms yea?
