    Green Algae... I think?

    I don't think the green stuff is the same as the green round patches on the glass that turn to corraline.This is something like a green diatom, it may go,it will not turn to Bryopsis,but it may also stay that way for long!!

    FW bacteria and SW bacteria

    You can place cuprisorb from seachem to your chemical filter to treat the copper properly !!I changed 70% of the water and stired the silica sand ,and I droped the salt in.Two weeks later amonia and nitrite were zero.........I know this is not the right way to do the things, but it worked on me!!
