Hello everyone! After many years of owning FW Aquariums and always wanting to jump into reefing, I decided to jump all in a go difficult right away! I have a 4 gallon tank that sits on my desk for that ocean vibe. Its been running for a total of 5 days with live sand and live rock. I'm currently waiting for my test kit to get here from amazon but meanwhile, I've notice in the last day and a half an algae bloom that has begun on a section of rock and it has allot of bubble forming and raising to the top of the tank (see photos below). Is this normal during the cycle? I haven't added any inverts yet as I want to be sure all of my levels are spot on. I'm a very patient person, so there is no rush unless someone thinks otherwise. I have also noticed a handful of extremely small micro-organisms on the glass which I'm assuming is a good thing. Is anyone able to confirm the algae bloom and bubbles being part of the cycle and confirm the small micro-organisms are in fact a good thing? Thank you all in advance, and I'm looking forward to this long awaited adventure in reefing.
