Hey I got all of this brown stuff all over my rock and and bed and I was wondering what it was, how much longer of seeing it and what does it do. Thanks
sounds like a diatom bloom. Is the tank a few months old? It can last a few days or a few months. It is almost part of a cycle stage. make sure your water parameters are within the proper ranges.
DIATOMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Theyre a natural part of the tanks cycle. Its from silicates in the water. Once they "eat" all of the silicates, theyll go away.
i have a 75 gal DT and a 20 gal QT and a 10 gal sump. i go to walmart and refill 30 1 gal containers every 2.5 weeks. its almost cheaper to get the RODI but my water is so terrible i would be spending 60 a month on filters lol
