Re: After 16 days cycling is everything fine


Hi all, after 16 days cycling some of my live rock colors change and algae come on but is this good or not? I must clean those algae or not? And there is any chance to get mashrom coral in my live rock? Cuz I can see small piece of it in my LR in this picture
as you see in the right of the rock there is flashy purple blue dot. And this my LR after 16 days

Those would be diatoms and happens when a tank is cycling, have you been testing your water during those 16 days? And could be a mushroom since its common to get hitchhikers in live rock.

Have you been testing for ammonia? If It reads zero I would go ahead and add something but not too much at once.
