I'm seeing some brown film developing in the rock, which wouldn't worry me except for the small bubbles that appear to be in the patches pictured.
I have a new aquarium that's been running a couple weeks now. I used Dr. Tim's One and Only and ghost fed the tank for the first week. I introduced copepods and have been dosing phyto for the second week. Test parameters are 0.2 ppm Ammonia, >1 ppm Nitrites, and 2 ppm Nitrates.
Introduced the first members of the CUC, 3 emerald crabs and 3 nassarius snails a couple days ago.
Should I be actively scrubbing this off my rock? Or is it the start of the first algae film on the base rock?
