Well after setting up the new tank (still kinda empty) I realized I didn't turn the co2 back on. :( Neverthe less I now have algae. Not bad, yet but still very visible. What is it? Its very slimy and brown when remove from the water. Other possible causes (besides Co2)?

Re: Algae ID

Most of my new tank setups get a slimy brown algae as part of the cycling process. They are called diatoms and almost always go away on there own after a short time. Thats my guess. ;)
