My tank is about 1 month old and now my sand is growing bright red patches,duz anybody no wut these are?
 
Since the tank is only a month old it could very well be diatoms. Is it slimy or more like a dust?
 
More dusty or crusty and it used to be brown but then the brown went away and the red came in and btw i cant find the article...
 
I have a blue green cyano problem right now and it sucks. I had the halides off for three days and it had cleared up but I still have patches growing. It really sucks so if it is cyano start taking care of it now and find the under laying cause or else ur in for trouble
