Live Rock and Crushed Coral turning yellow/Brwn

[jasony]

question..
what can be the possible causes of my live rock and crushed coral all starting to have a dirty yellowish/brownish tint.. everything was fine and looking white-ish until about a week ago...
is it a lighting issue causing algae or something else...
nitrates are fine and phosphates are fine

hey jason, it's normal diatom that new tanks go throug. are you still cycling tank?

It is perfectly normal for a new system. It will go away by itself but is ugly to look at in the meantime.

Aztec is right on top of it. He told me mine would go away, and while I was still panicked, it has started to recede, and go away.
