[omgsaltwat]

I have brown stuff all over my tank and sand, I have been told it will go away by its self. I keep trining to wipe it off the glass and fan it off the sand but its getting worse my tank is fully cycled all levels 0 I have 1 domino damsel 1 foxface tang 2 percula clowns. then all the brown stuff came will it hurt my fish? btw my tank is 125.

:help:

Diatom algae. Its harmless, and it will go away with time.

It wont hurt your fish.

can you just get it up with a siphon, or does that not work with algea

Get a clean up crew, they will take care of it for you. Mexican Turbos are great.

Bout 20 Mexican Turbos should do ya. Ifn you want some others, they help too, I'm partial to Turbos though, I have 10, and they keep my 135 crystal, still fixin to get a few more.

Ya, I got that stuff on some of my live rock to, but my ammonia, nitrite, and nitrade levels are toxic to add a clean-up crew ***)
