Brown and a Green Day 13

Hi everyone. Just want to make sure that my rocks are doing what they’re supposed to do, in my new aquarium. The picture shows a lot of green and brown algae, if I am not mistaken . There are little bubbles forming in some of the brown stuff. Would be grateful if someone would provide some input for me. Having difficulty loading my picture. Will continue trying.

Picture of the algae. Hope it loads properly.

all normal. How are nitrite, ammonia and nitrate readings? The algae will get a lot worse before it gets better. Just let it do it's thing, don't go adding any chemical cures.

Thanks ya’ll!! No plans to mess around with additives. I am being patient. I love reef central. I have learned so much from all of you. Wishing you all a Merry Christmas.

Same to you

Also, you might want to prepare yourself if you think this is a lot of algae! If this is as bad as it gets for you, you're a lucky reefer.

Looks great though, and I'm jealous of how cool that rock looks.
