    Not sure what you have is this,but I would remove the rock and make sure it's erradicated.I had this algae in a nano and it quickly,in a few months time,covered most of the tank including powerhead and skimmer intake and pump.That tank is now fresh water,it's tough stuff.

    Yep that's what I thought at first,didn't care much as I pretty much neglected that tank most of the time.When powerhead and skimmer stopped working because of the stuff I physically removed as much as I could but 2-3 days later it was back just as strong.It's very tough,removing it was almost like scraping mussels from a rock at the beach.
