Tank Red
Posted on Sunday, May 31, 2009 in Model Tanks
I have a 100G tank with red spots on the glass only?
I have a 100G fish tank with African Sicklets it has been healthy for around 2years now. the fish are breeding and all my tests are normal ranges. In the last 2-3 weeks I have noticed redish-brown spots that have appeared only on the glass. I can scrub these off with the brush but it requires alot of force. what can cause these and how do I prevent it from happening again?
Sounds like your brown stuff are diatomes (sometimes refered to as brown algae). These usually apear in new tanks. However, they can apear in established tanks and it usually means a fluctuation in nitrate or phosphate levels.
Do more frequent, smaller water changes, be sure not to over feed, and keep scraping it off the glass if it apears.
Also, it's Cichlid, not Sicklet
