Your tank is going to take as much as six to twelve months to mature if that, and in that time you are going to see many types of algae types come and go. With your green algae keep it off your viewing panels and in time it will vanish and coraline algae will begin to appear. If there is nothing in your tank to utelise the Kalkwasser why use it now, wait for at least three months befor you start adding chemicals and only if there needed. Use test kits to measure and add apropiate amounts. read up on coraline algaes and what they require for growth. If you have a freind with lots of Coraline growth in his tank take a sample from his tank and put it in your tank, it will help to seed the coraline.
