Are you showing the "dust" algae on the glass or the color of the rock?

Both are normal, what is on the rock is good. What is on the glass typically gets cleaned every few days by most of us.

Don't see anything growing in the rocks? Give us a closer view. Are those rocks real or fake

I could see the dark brown thing falling off one day, I took a turkey blaster and cleaned the rock. a brown layer blew away and settled on the sand bed.
and revealed the rock. see pic. is this cyanobacteria? i have a PO4 as 0.5 ppm from Hanna checker.
