Looking great  . The brown stuff just looks like diatoms, they'll go away on their own

Thanks BigRed  trying to catch up and make it look as good as you, bribo and 10gal  I figured that's what it was after reading on it. I ran to the lfs and bought two electric blue hermits to help with the moving of the sand and any extra food

Beyond the reef is my new favorite actually! That's where I got the ric, frogspawn, and hammer. Used to go this place called aquarium adventures but it's overpriced and a horrible selection of corals. I'll have to check out advanced aquatic and reefwise, thanks BigRed

if you cycled and have fish no need to add anymore bacteria, youre good.
the brown is just diatoms, they happen with newer tanks and just fade away after a few weeks sometimes longer. You can get critters to eat it or just wait it out. cause remember that clean up crew adds to the bioload too, not as much as a fish but they eat so therefore they poop too. haha
