bacteria bloom. You changed something when you added the fish and your tank is readjusting. Just be patient.

its just the uglies. keep blowing the brown stuff off, and pretty soon itll be purple.
make sure you rinse the purgien REALLY well.
you'd have to research the type of plastic.

different kind of bloom. It's a bloom of the "good" bacteria. Your tank is still new. You could put a small UV on it and it will clear up, but patience is what is needed.

Are you running any carbon through your filter. My tank is cycling currently and I have a brownish haze that is driving me nuts too so I purchased a carbon reactor to help polish the water. Do you have a protein skimmer workin
