Hey everyone,
With my tank still being in its first 6 months I have had swings of different types of algae come and go, usually I would scrub it off and syphon out but this last lot ran its course while i was away on business.
I now have a light brown dust over all my rocks and sand, I have syphoned out a lot but some is in hard to get spots etc. I am guessing this is just the die of from the algae...? I tried taking pictures but you cant see it at all sorry.
My best guess is it would just be the dead algae decaying. So my question then would be - is this an issue and will it mess with parameters much?
I will be keeping on top of regular water changes as normal - just curious more than anything, and will it eventually disappear on its own or do i need to find a way to get to the hard to reach areas and syphon it out - Its ugly lol
Cheers,
Tim
