Need some help. My rock and fish a (domino damsel, blue with yellow tail damsel) was added 11 days ago. Then this brown stuff started showing up.
I called the pet store they told me to brush the rocks with a tooth brush, stir up the sand, and use less light which I did. It didn't work. It came right back the next day. The pet store told me I couldn't put any crabs, snails, or shrimp in untill its been 4 weeks after I put the fish and rock in. so I don't know what to do. Any advice would be nice.

Hello Mate,

Check your levels ammonnia nitrite if there 0 i guess you could go with the cleanup crew

it sounds like your problem is diatoms common for new tanks, take a look on fenners site www.wetwebmedia.com from experince i was able to get rid of this by doing three things

1. Cleaning filter floss (mecanical filtration) every day till it goes
2. Turbo snail smop the stuff up
3. Using a combination of macro algaes and phosphate removing compounds

my tank is now free of the brown stuff

Just wanted to warn you, I've read that Nano-Cubes have a high cracking rate.

All of them? I thought it was just the bigger (24g?) ones.
