They will go away on their own.

This is obviously a newly setup tank. it will soon dissipate and then you will have green.

Then when the green appears it is usually accompanied by maybe Red Cyano or Red Hair algae, then green again by turf or other algaes and then maybe the sexy corralline. maybe.

Its all part of the process =)

What about the rock? I have the corallife powerhead but it's not giving a strong current. I bought a new powerhead last night to get more current which I read helps prevent cyano.
