    I am having what I assume it a tank cycle since I moved this tank about 2-3 weeks ago. I have attached pics of the algae...

    My Specs are:

    Ca 480 High
    kH/gH 9
    Amm. 0
    Nitrite 0
    Nitrate 0
    pH 7.8 Low
    SG 1.023

    That is all I can test for.

    I just want to make sure I am on the right track before I do anything that could be harmful or unnecessary.

    I would appreciate your input.

    Thanks.

    Steven

    You are cycling and what you are seeing is normal. The algae will go away in a few weeks

    That's pretty much what I thought, but I wanted another opinion.

    Thanks.
