3 Types of Algae??

[Muchcunfooz]

My tank is currently going through the nitrite spike phase of the cycle and I'm seeing 3 different types of algae: A dark green one, a light green one, and brown diatom. Just wondering what the 2 types of green ones are and if I should be concerned. I attached a picture, Thanks!

Just normal green film algae and likely diatoms which are a 100% expected/totally normal/harmless part of a new tank.. Commonly referred to as the "ugly stages".. Its usually diatoms, then green hair/film algae then even cyano and all in that order many times..

It will all go away in time (a few weeks or so usually) provided proper tank maintenance..

Welcome to a new tank.. enjoy..relax..


And just for future reference.. please turn the blue channels way down/off when taking/asking for identification help with pictures..
Proper color rendition is very useful most of the time and the overly blue look does not show real colors well at all..
Many times it also causes phone pictures to be out of focus too..
