Aquarium Advice Apprentice
OK, I have had a small saltwater tank (First it was a 3, then a 6, then I changed it to a 10 gallon, its been a 10 for about a year) for a few years and it has been great, always healthy, always clean, water always perfect. For the last few months evertything (glass, liverock, polyps, everything!) has been getting covered with some brownish colored stuff that easily comes off when I brush it off or blow it off with a turkey baster thing and some grassy looking algae. I clean it all change a large portion of the water, but within 2-3 days it is back. The only thing that has changed is that I had a lot of bristle worms in the tank, then I bought a hawkfish which I think may have eaten most of them. What can I do to to rid the tank of this stuff? Do I have to do a complete breakdown and clean everything, change the substrate? Can I rinse the liverock in freshwater for a few seconds? I'm confused and I've even thought about getting rid of the thing since I can't seem to get it under control.
Any help would be welcomed.
