Is this normal algae to have during the cycle?

Another pic of the brown algae with tiny bubbles.

April 14, 2005, and I started to wonder what was growing in my tank. The last test I did was yesterday and my results were this. pH: 8.4 Alkalinity: Normal Nitrite: >1 Nitrate: 250/50 Ammonia: 0.5 I have brown algea growing on my marine sand along with plenty of tiny bubbles. I also have some...

Thanks on the feedback. I found more information about it on the site though. It said that they're herbivores and eats filamentous algae and unicellular algal film.

I was wondering if this type of seaslug would do fine in a 5 Gallon Nano Reef tank. Thanks :)

Thanks :D

Alright, I think i'll pick up a Hydrometer. And possibly a feather duster when the cycle finishes. :)

Alrighty, thanks for the advice. :)

Thanks for the info Salty! :) I'll check that book out. I would gladly post a picture of my aquarium. The sand in there isn't Live sand, I made a mistake. I now plan to purchase some Live sand. Here you go. BTW - Me and my friends made the table :)

I set up a 5 gallon saltwater tank and it currently has a 12'' 8 watt fluorescent light and a Penguin Mini BIO-Wheel Power Filter. I am really interested in saltwater tanks, but I also heard how hard it was to maintain one.. I only know that Live rock and Live sand is recommended for saltwater...
