When something distures the play sand in my aquarium, I get this peeled skin (best descirption I can come up with) looking stuff stirred up.. Looks like the mess that shoots out the canister filter after service too.. It's super ugly.. :)

Cause?
Way to reduce?


Thanks!!
 
if its brown gunky stuff, i had the same problem until i stopped overfeeding. It would shoot out of the filter when i turned it back on after a pwc, and the canisters were full of it. I cut back to feeding every 2-3 days and havent had the problem nearly as bad.
