    :confused::confused:Ok so we had our 75g up and running for 8 weeks and the cycle had completed and the tank looked beautiful. We then added Approx 60lbs of dead rock. We were aware of the cycle process restarting and expected the algae. Im just curious if anyone else has had this happen.. The Algae on the acrylic seems to be back within a couple hours.. Its green and wipes right off with no leftover film or residue. This is something that didnt happen thru the first cycle. The first cycle mostly made a brownish algae. Please,,,, any input would help set my mind at ease.:-/:-/:confused::confused::cry:

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    1st diatoms, next green hair algae, and next coralline.

    If you get lucky no cynobacteria

    Is sounds perfectly normal to me.
