I've set up my 10 gallon Nano reef tank, cycled it with that turbo start, and fed the empty tank for about a month now. pretty sure by my monitoring and testing I've gone thru the ammonia cycle. I've added one clown, one red banded shrimp, a narcissus snail and a few coral. small feeds every other day. all parameters seem fine, but I am getting a goldish growth on my rocks. i started with dead sand and rocks. i did add a bottle of coralline algae. is this the beginning stages? am i hitting other issues? ignore the blue and purple colors on rock, as they are epoxy.
