    Cyano bacteria, it can be eliminated by better flow, and keeping up with water changes and regular maintenance

    The green stuff looks to be the color of the rock (normal) as it may have been newer rock, right now my rocks are green but they were purchased all dry, and coralline algae is starting to cover it all up so shortly i wont be able to see it at all :cheesy:
