White film on gravel?

[SABWARNER16]

Is this just a white algae or something? The tank has been up for two days, but the filter was cycled already and I added some safe start to help it a little. Ammonia and nitrite 0, nitrate ~5

Is that corriander?

Looks like bio film, which is not a problem

I love Water Wisteria. Have some in my small tank but looking forward to planting some in bigger tank with same substrate you have.

No idea about the algae or not algae

I also love that it's a lighter shade of green to most of my other plants. Lovely addition to a tank

I concur, that is just biofilm. Snails and shrimp really like eating it.
