So my tanks been cycled for about 2 weeks and got some algae I'm not 100% on. I'm assuming its Cyano. Also the 2nd pic is from my conch snail, he seems to have some kind of mucus coming off of him.

That looks a bit more like dinos to me. But I should not be quoted on it. Cyano looks more like a red carpet on your sandbed.

So I took some water too my local reef shop to get tested since i needed RO/DI anyways, he said since its new its probably just Diatoms. Which makes sense since the tank is so new.
