    If you are wondering about the green stuff along the sand bed, then it looks like chaeto algae. Good stuff, will help remove nitrates and other nasty stuff from your water. keep and eye on it though, if it turns out to be grape caulerpa it will tank over your tank. The chaeto is generally free floating.
