OK, ive been running a 55 gal tank now for about 4 months with absolutley no problems. It has a 4" DLSB with about 75lbs of LR. I currently have two damsels and a six line wrasse. The only problem im having now is that the sand is turning brown and the glass on the inside i cant seem to keep clean. Its got brown algae growing on it too, not thick just enough to make the glass cloudy. Is this from overfeeding? Or phosphates in the water? I dont use a R/O unit. Should i invest in one of them or just get a really good clean up crew? The problem never started until about a week or two ago and my water tests are all perfect. It all seemed to start when i started feeding frozen brine shrimp? Im wondering if im just feeding too much or what? I also added power compacts to the tank about the time it started too. I only have three snails in the tank and about 3 or 4 hermits. Im thinking get a really good clean up crew and hope it clears up. My water dont need reverse osmosis, its fairly clear and clean of anything. Someone help me out here...... thanks
