I've looked on the last couple pages of the forum for the same question...but didn't really find an answer...so if it was answered I apologize for the repeat!
I have had my 46 gal tank now for about 2 months...I only have 4 cichlids in it @ this time...about 2 weeks ago there was this brown "stuff" all over the tank...rocks, tubing, glass, plants...etc. So i drained about 80% of it (with use of a bucket) and cleaned it, then filled it back up...yes i'm using arizona tap water . Now bout 2 weeks later, there is the same stuff all over the glass, rocks, etc but now it seems like its progressing faster and faster by the day...I'm really new to the fish scene..lol and not prepared for trouble, so what is happening?! Some people say let it run its course...but I did that last time and the tank was so murky it was like hard to see the fish!
I haven't tested the water or anything like that...not sure how But any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!
