Something growing in my Tank!

[palmerc02]

I have been getting this nasty brownish red looking stuff growing in my tank and on the was. I have had no issues with my tank until about two weeks ago. Last week I pulled everything out cleaned it and put it back in and it all came back. Any ideas of what I can do to correct this? My clown fish have been acting fine and does not seem to be bugging them. Below is a link to some pictures I have taken of the problem. Thanks

I'm really not sure what you're referring to; but the brown stuff is a diatom bloom. This is a common part of new tank set-up process and should disapper in time. Harmless, though.

i cant see the pictures, but it sounds like your either battling a diatom outbreak or cyano. do you use rodi water? how much flow do you have in the tank? what are your water parameters?
