Hello again.
after 3 months the rocks are turning brown, it is like a hard layer, with a brush it is not removed.
What can be? Any suggestions?
Remember that the rock was dead

 

[coburn13]

however the sand is clean

 

[Aquaforest]

What is your circulation? I recommend to remove this by water flow.

 

[coburn13]

I have two vortech 10mpq and one tunze 6095 at 40%.
The water flow dont remove it. It is a hard layer.

 

[coburn13]

Any more ideas?
On the other hand, I have to clean the crystals every day because they turn brown. excess of nutrients? bacteria?
What steps should I follow?

thankyou and best regards.

That's 100% diatoms. Every new tank goes through this. It will go away as long as you are not adding silicates to your tank

 

[coburn13]
