zibnata Posted January 28, 2003 Share Posted January 28, 2003 My tank is 4 mos old ,55 gallon, I had 50 lbs LR.I just added 15 more lbs cured LR. Is that the reason why my glass,rock,substrate is covered with brown dust ?If thats the case,what is it and when will it clear up ? Another possibility is that one of my actinic bulbs broke and all I had to replace it with is a 4100 k pc bulb. I now have 1-55w actginic,2-55w 10000k and 1-4100k. Could the 4100k light be causing this ?The actinic replacement is on its way. My readings are ammonia-0 nitrites-0 ph-8.2 nitrates-20 salinity- 1.024 temp-80 I have snails,crabs,2 cleaner shrimp,yellow tang,hippo tang,clown,scotter blennie,and 2 damsels.Mushroom and bubble coral. fluval 304 filter,protien skimmer,2 power heads.THANKS Link to comment
Tracker Posted January 28, 2003 Share Posted January 28, 2003 I'm new also but it sounds like a diaton bloom to me. Link to comment
SaltyDawg Posted January 29, 2003 Share Posted January 29, 2003 If it sweeps away with water current then I would say it is detrius. ( waste created by the rock and inverts). Link to comment
