My tank was perfectly clear yesterday. This morning I noticed a very small brown patch and assumed it was just a minor patch of algae. I just came home from work to find almost the entire tank floor covered in very orange-looking algae. I wouldn't be too nervous about this except that there is a thick white cloudiness coming from the orange areas (it almost looks like mist rising). I've attached pictures. My fish seems to be okay and my parameters are normal.
What should I do? Is my fish okay in this tank or should I move him to a qt tank while I figure out what's going on?
I'm sorry if this is a minor problem, this is my first tank and I'm not sure what to do about it.
Thank you!
