newnano Posted December 27, 2003 Share Posted December 27, 2003 I've attached a picture of some brown/rusty growth on my LR. Can someone identify it? Is is diatoms? Will it go away on it's own. Today's water readings: Ammonia - 0, Nitrite - 0, Nitrate - 20, pH - 8.1, SG - 1.0223. Thanks. Link to comment

Physh1 Posted December 27, 2003 Share Posted December 27, 2003 Yes, it's diatoms/brown algae. It's normal. Is your tank new/cycling and how many hours a day are your lights on. Cameron Link to comment
newnano Posted December 27, 2003 Author Share Posted December 27, 2003 It's new. It just finished cycling about a week or so ago. I was told by my LFS that I should keep the light on between 10 to 12 hours a day. I've been keeping them on for about 10 hrs/day. Is that to long? Link to comment
