I recently started a 13.5 nano build. I'm using live sand and dry rock. I used microbacter start to help with cycling. Day 2 I noticed a white film building up on the glass. I cleaned it off and now day for it came back. Is this just good bacteria building up? Should I just leave it of continue to clean the glass. (Tank is only 4 days old)
Thanks for all the help.

If your calcium and alkaline are within range would try to get coralline algae going too. Where coralline grows other undesirable algae has a hard time taking hold
