Aquarium Advice FINatic
Animal-Chin said:Daney that brown stuff is diatom algae and every new tank gets it. The good news is every tank gets rid of it naturally too! Itll be around for a month or so. You can remove it by squirting ot with a turkey baster and letting your filter remove it but itll come back until the silicates in your sand are gone, thats what it eats. Just hang in there and soon enough it will dissapear. New tank stuff. Oh and its not harmfull to fish and hardly anything eats it so dont stress trying to find a clean up crew to munch it down...
Ok thanks. I think im just paranoid with these stuff cause most people gets it around wks 3-5 and my tank has been running for almost 2 months now with the fish(not including the cycling process) if its diatoms, is it gonna found on just the rocks?
on the bright side... my clean up crew are busy doing their job. 2 days ago One astrea made a treacherous journey to the rocks to clean it and til now he's still there
