What is this stuff?

[nvmycj]

See that hair lookin' stuff... Is that hair algae? I've also got a thin film of brown crap on the water surface, that you can't see in the photo. I'm about to scrub of the diatoms and do a water change. I can't wait for my CUC to arrive!!! Also, what are those green sprouts popping up??
Thanks guys. I appreciate you input!!!

looks like green hair algae to me. in the right place too, getting plenty of light
I let my diatoms grow till they kill themselves off personally.

will the diatom die off raise my tank levels,... or restart a cycle....?

Watch the brown crap floating on top, get more water movement. I had a massive algae bloom of thick, slimy, brown crap. My salinity was up, I brought it down to 1.025 and it went away. Are you using ro/di water for saltwater and topoffs? Don't trust the bottled drinking water from the rocery store, you need ro/di and get it from the same person. How old is you tank? How old are you lights? Any critters???

I'm getting another water pump in the next day of two,....to help with water flow. I've only got the stock BioCube water pump on there right now. Tank is fairly new,...a little over a month. I'm getting a CUC from SWF hopefully on Tuesday. I buy water from a reputable LFS here in town. Lights are new,...same age as tank.
