Hello to all,
I went into the den to check up on my tank and I found some new Algae. Now the Algae has spread to my sand bed. It's brownish in color and kinda blotchy. is this anything to worry about. And if it is how do I get rid of it?
Thanks to everyone,
Patrick

Hi and welcome,
It is part of cycling as I understand it. However, I got hermit crabs to eat it when it was in my tank. They love brown algae.
If you get a good sand sifting critter nothing will accumulate on the sand.
