I recently got done curing a red slime algae problem. Now my tank looks almost worse. I have tons of the bright green algae blooms all over the glass and also just below the sand level. These are the kind that are hard to clean off, not the type that can easily be just wiped clean. Im not sure what is going on with my tank. I also have what looks like brown stuff covering the entire surface of the water when looked at from in the tank. This is all over the surface except where the power heads and skimmer are breaking the surface. I have two power heads for movement, and a skimmer. I recently stopped using carbon in my filter becuase i read it shouldnt be used very often. Is this true? My tank needs some serious work. Please help.
