Isn’t this good algae? And what is this pink stuff on the glass?

[saraeelove]

So I took a tank from someone else because it was going through neglect.

so for few days I noticed my tank started growing algae (before there was no algae)
And now there’s Pink stuff on my glass.
I noticed my dry rock has been growing purple algae as well and green

Cyano on the sand and probably elsewhere. Your tank is going through it's cycle. Remove as much of it as you can manually and watch your nutrients. Make sure you have good flow over your sand bed
