Regular Member kshepherd87 Posted November 17, 2010 Regular Member Share Posted November 17, 2010 My 43.5 gallon tank has been set up for 2 weeks now with my 2 little telescopes and 2 filters running, one Fluval u4 internal and a hood filter which I love as it has loaaaaaaaaaaaads of room for media - anyway, I was doing a water change earlier and noticed a very fine carpet of green algae on the bottom of the tank My tank is nowhere near cycled yet so I definitely wasn't expecting any algae for a while! Is it normal for green algae to appear so soon? Previously I've always had to battle with brown first I'm definitely not complaining, it just surprised me! The tank has 3 anubias and 2 moss balls, I don't know if these would have encouraged the algae? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member flutterbudget Posted November 17, 2010 Regular Member Share Posted November 17, 2010 I think I've read that moss balls can spread out and cover flat surfaces? But I honestly don't know. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
