Aquarium Advice Addict
So about a week or so ago I started noticing brown stuff growing on my plants and rock, algae maybe? I don't know what it is or how to get rid of it.. any advice would be great!
Thanks!
Thanks!
LyndaB said:It's most likely diatoms. They are not harmful to your fish, however, some people think they are butt ugly. If left alone, they will usually disappear on their own. If you try to hurry them along, they come back stronger than before. Diatoms are common in tanks less than a year old.
Just let it run its course?
