My sand always seems to have a brown coppery tint to it and it only goes away if the sand is sturred up. Is this normal for a tank that is about 3 months old? How long should my light be on? Do I need some kinds of supplement???
Thanks.

Sounds like brown diatom algae possibly. Do you have any hermits or sand sifting snails? They usually take care of it.
