Hi,
I am after some advice having recently set up a new marine tank and being a novice to it. I set my tank up about a month ago (Juwel rio 125l ) and added a lees aquarium 50 gallon protein skimmer which is more than big enough for the capacity of my tank. I monitored the levels for about 3 weeks and then when they were stable added 2 clownfish and anemone. The anemone died within a couple of days which after reading through other posts on the net I realised that they were probably the wrong thing to stick in a new tank, but over the last week I have watched the tank slowly get browner inside. It has covered the sand all the rocks and the back wall. I don't know if this is normal it certainly never happened on my freshwater tank. I have been checking the levels every 2 days and they are all fine, and I am only feeding a small amount of frozen every 2 days. Can anyone suggest what this might be and how to fight it or will it eventually clear itself up???
Thanks
Chris
