Sorry for the quality. They were taken with my cell phone if you need better quality for identification let me know. Again the tank has been running for a week Ammonia went up to about .50 ppm and since has come down to .25, Nitrates have maybe come up to a trace but not enough to read and nitrites 0. I have a question about what that white grassy looking plant is on top of my LR and then there is a little plant on top of a rock that looks like a featherduster and also one in the cave that looks like one? Lastly the red looking algae is it coraline already? Thanks

LOL, Dash, I can feel your enthusiasm & that's great. Take a deep breath & slowly, slowly let it out. There is no way to correctly identify the types of macro or micro algae's you have growing there, I think I do see a feather duster, which is a worm, not a plant & I would say the reddish area is not coraline algae, although if it is hard or calcerous, it could be, it does appear to be "soft" to me. Things look fine, take your time & enjoy yourself.
