What type of algae is this, its slimy, not hairy on the rocks, but some of it is a little stringy on some coral frags that have exposed rock on the frag plug.
I noticed it bloom very fast and heavy after I started using Nitrifying bacteria for a week.
0 Nitrates
0 Phosphates
SG 1.025
Temp 77
Some people say its green coraline, some of it has receded, and it left behind some fluorescent white on the rocks, which is why I think it's coraline. but I can't be sure.
Photos were taken with lights off, but flash on phone to give you a true color of what it looks like.
I started dosing Sodium Nitrate today to try to get my nitrates to 10-20 and see if it helps.
ONE THING TO NOTE, IT'S ONLY GROWING WHERE LIGHT HITS, kinda cool cause I know where the "highlight" points of the rocks are so I can coral place later for reference.
