I am getting lots of green algae all over live rock and on sand its not fuzzy kind. Tank has been up for two weeks, Is this normal? My lights are on about 12 hours a day.
yep all normal. New tnaks go through several alga phases. Keep nitrates/phosphates down and dont use tap water and you'll be fine. You could add a few snails once the tank is cycled too.
I went through something very similar after my 12 ap setup. I did a small water change and that took care of it. I was very worried at first but soon realized its just a "phase" the tank goes through
I have had my tank 5 months and aside from that water change to get rid of the algae I havent done one since. my tests all look good
