This green hairy alge wasn't there this morning, but all of a sudden its appeared. It isn't on any of the LR (tank is only 1.5 weeks old so there isn't anything else in it). Its on the glass on on the LS.
It looks light green, and almost looks like very fine, light green grass. You can't really tell on the pictures that much.
Any ideas what this is and what we should do? We've had the tank cycling for about a week now. Had a frozen shrimp in there for a couple days and the amonia spiked. PH levels were high so we did a 10% water change (which we probably shouldn't have). Current levels:
Amonia - .25
Nitrite - 0
Nitrate - 40
PH - 8.6
Salt - 1.024
Temp - 79
