Algae assitance

[cmdmd]

Hi guys;

yesterday I posted a video of my tank, showing some algae growing on the rocks. The video was not very good. I need assistance confirming the identity of the algae and what can I do to control it. This link leads to a new video where I get better visuals of the issue.

Will Algaefix help?

How long has the tank been established? Looks like typical new tank stuff going on.

You're right, I should have posted the tank's info. It is a 2.5 month-old tank. New tank issues you think? I'm glad to hear that. I will monitor closely

I think its usual new tank stuff. Keep up on water changes and siphon it off. Don't overfeed.
