I'm seeing some green growth on my rocks. It doesn't look like what I would expect from dinos or diatoms, and I suspect it's just growth resulting from the phyto I've been dosing for the past four weeks.

My tank has been running for five weeks now, and I've had my first pair of clownfish for about a week. I've had inverts in the tank a couple weeks longer than that. I introduced a colony of copepods a couple days after my nitrifying bacteria day 3.

Mostly I want to make sure this is healthy growth as the base rock matures, and isn't the beginning signs of anything more sinister, unhealthy, or imbalanced. Thanks!
