Coral sand turbing brown

[Dave_C]

Hi guys,
Day 11 of new tabk cycle and today have bounced brown spots appearing on the top of the coral sand and on some parts of the dry rock.

Should I be worried ??

Nope - Nothing to worry about ! Take it easy and chill on - its doing what its suppose to.

Diatoms, extremely common in a new reef (especially with dry rock). Enjoy the first visible signs of life!

Next up on the “Ugly Phase” of the cycle, burgundy cyano slime.

But don’t worry, it’s all part of the natural process.

WOW - The diatoms are running wild in the tank. Bubbles coming off them too.
Should I clean the inside off the glass to remove it or just left nature take place ??

You can clean the glass, if you want… it’s just part of the cycle and will subdue soon..
