Maturing or something else

[Irishreefer85]

Good morning R2R fam. This tank is just at 3 months old. This green on my rocks is from my lights. But it isn’t regular green algea. I’m wondering if it’s maturing stages or something I need to watch out for. Here are my parameters and lights. All of my corals have excellent growth and I am aware of what hair algea is but this isn’t it.
Any insight is welcome.

2 clarkii
4 green chromi
1 diamond goby
9 tiger astrea
2 turbo
3 blue leg
1 fighting conch

Or4 reed day x2
Or4 sky blue
Or4 blu plus
Blues for 8 hours a day
Full spectrum 3 hours a day


Phos .06
Nitrate 17
Cal. 440
Mag 1300
Alk 10.2
Ph 8.24


Tropic Marin zoo mix salt
185 gallons

Looks like normal green film algae. Hopefully some member of your cuc kept it under control. You can always add more CUC members like Stomatella.

Tank looks appropriate for age and healthy.

It’s normal and part of your rocks going through the cycling stages :) For me my rocks turned into exactly the same colour. Later on the green patches turned into purple coralline algae

This is film algae and at times leads to wire algae. Add cleaners such as pencil urchins, fighting conchs, carribean blue leg hermits , ninja star snails and astrea snails

I had some of that and could never get rid of it until i got a blue tuxedo urchin which kept it under control really well
