Ich treatment turning water brown

[bronxbomber]

I am undergoing a saltless heat treatment also. ALl the whitesopts are gone. One question I have is my tank seems to be getting dirtier quicker. I am doing everyother day wather changes with the temp at 90. Fish are doing well and dealing with the high temp but my water is browning much more than before the temp increase. Any ideas.

temp 90
Amn 0
Nitri 0
Nitra 15 before PWC
Ph 7.8 but steady from day 1

3 angles, 6 rainbows, 7 rasboras, 1 Cockatoo Cichlid, 2 platies, 1 dwarf gourami, 13 plants in a 55 gal tank cycled for 2 weeks.

Is it the water turning brown or is it diatom algae? Try putting some aquarium water into a white cup and see if the water is indeed brown.

The water in the cup is not brown.

I would assume it is a diatom outbreak. How long has the tank been set up?

 

[bronxbomber]

8 weeks

Yep diatom. I have done some reading thats definitely what it is. It also started dying off and things are looking a lot better today.

It will continue to go away. Perfectly normal.
