Dirty mist over live rock

[Didaka]

Just a question. Over the last few days my tank, which is currently cycling, has developed an orangey/browney type dirtyness over one half of the tanks live rock. It may have developed after a put a bit of base rock in there during the week.

Is this a problem???

hey there...no, its not a problem at all....this is called a brown diatom algae bloom....This happens to all new aquaria, its something that we have to live with....Its nothing to worry about as it will pass in time....

Beauty. Thanx mate. It actually looks kinda good in some sections. I havn't cycled a tabk for a fair while now, so I just thought i'd ask some people with good experience.

Thanx
