    Hi Lost, its very common in new set-ups and it will pass. It also is not a real algae its called Cyanobacteria and not much will eat it, i have read Mexican dwarf hermits will eat it.

    Google Cyanobacteria for tips how to remove it. Myself i would just add a vial of Prodibio and leave to to clear up in time.
