Recommended Posts

i had cycled my tank for about 2mths now. What i face is, my tank is near the window, but i'll got some window binds to decrease the algae. But lately, my LR are stained with brown patches all over the LR and walls... it seems like spreading every fast, is this normal?

New tank? Diatoms.

Snails love that stuff.

Less sun will help reduce algae and heat.

The diatoms doesn't mean anything with respect to the nitrogen cycle, so it does not indicate whether the system is suitable for livestock.

Consider getting some snails to eat the diatom or let it run its course and burn itself up.

Turbo, trochus or astrea. Try to get the smallest size possible. Big ones are like bulldozers.

My turbo snails grow super fast. Anyone wants to exchange small ones for big ones? Big ones, I can even hear their shell knock against the glass when they turn corners!!!

I think (marine) therefore I am
