redish growth with hints of green on my sand
Just started this tank 2 weeks ago, used live sand from the former owner and two bags of store bought live sand and bought two live rocks from LFS, now it appears that I have some reddish undesirable junk growing on my sand and starting up the glass. This stuff seemed to coincide with the addition of the second rock. How do I quell this rebellion? The tank hasn't even cycled yet
 Oh and before anyone asks, the rocks were not cured before putting them in the tank  http://pets.webshots.com/photo/24160...qab?vhost=pets http://pets.webshots.com/photo/24160...qab?vhost=petshttp://pets.webshots.com/photo/24160...qab?vhost=pets http://pets.webshots.com/photo/24160...qab?vhost=pets |

To me it looks like diatoms which are a normal part of the cycle. They will go away on their own.
