I got this used tank set up(which was up for 4 months) that I transferred into my place (now up for 1 month) and I see the rock has some unpleasant algae on the rock. I have an around 5 snails (2 turbo and remaining smaller ones) and 1 hermit crab. I read several forums and articles on the type of algae, but having a hard time figuring out what type is it. Can some help identify and provide pointers on how to treat it?
More details:
24 G tank
Life: 4 months with previous owner, 1 month with me.
Algea: small green layer mostly on rocks (some of glass which I clean with a scrubber every 2-3 days)
Live stock: 3 fish and 1 coral + 2 turbo snails, 3 small snails(don't know the name) and 1 hermit crab.
Chemistry: All seem within range, but don't have a device for exact measurements.
