kind of like that - there's a darker part on the right of the picture that looks more like mine - could be the lighting. there is a red slime on the glass behind the rocks (can't clean without moving the rocks).

When I was cleaning the algae off the glass with the scraper I brushed into a piece of rock and it made it real white. Is that harmful? Can I use a BBQ brush to gently wipe the algae off the rocks?
The only coral in the tank are two small (approx 2 inch wide pieces of 1 - 1/2 inch high) fingers. They stick straight up and completely covered in the algae.

If the brush isn't contaminated, you can give it a try but siphon out all the algae that tries to float away.

I gave it a little brush on one rock and it comes clean. I'll do small amounts at a time. There are no big pieces after I brush - it kind of just goes into very tiny pieces that can't really be siphoned off. They do go to the filter so most of it should go there or settle on the gravel which can be filtered later.

If you don't have a nitrate NO3- (not Nitrite NO2-) test kit, I'd recommend to get one so you can test wat your levels are at.
