I missed your post about your tank being only 3 weeks old. In this case I wouldn't be too concerned. Your tank is new. Personally I wouldn't waste your money on GFO, but if you want, go for it.

With any new system, you will have your cycle, this does also include a time of possible algae, slime, etc. If things are in check, this should decipate.

Of course I still recommend a clean up crew, but as I stated in my first post. To assist in the clean up of your tank, NOT to cure an issue within.

Good luck!!! Have Fun!!!

EDIT: OH YEAH, WELCOME TO CANREEF!
