Dirty Sand

[Joe Fish]

What would be causing my sand to turn a little brown on top? If i'm using RO/DI shouldn't it not do this?

gotta be an algea bloom of some sort from the new lights id imagine.... when i switch to pc's i got that

 

[Lorna]

sounds like a diatom bloom.......more flow and an active cleanup crew will take care of it.......and time of course

 

[big54bob]

sounds like alage
an emerald crab and some hermits and time should take care of it

 

[Joe Fish]

Well I have all of that so I guess it's because of the new lights.
