Can anyone tell me what this brown stringy stuff is and what's the best way to get rid of it.

 

[saltwater man]

It looks like diatoms what do u you to fill your water

 

[Tstanfill]

[mr fixit]

[Tstanfill]

Ok. I'll try that.

How old is ur tank

 

[Tstanfill]

It's about 3 months old

At 3 months it's pretty normal, don't sweat it. Check out section 5 "The Cycle " of this article.

I have 2 clownfish. So what feeding schedule should I use? I currently feed everyday.

 

[Lenny_S]

As long as you only feed as much as they can eat nearly completely in under a minute then once a day is fine. If you don't have a cleanup crew, then get one appropriate for your size tank. A lot of places sell packages by tank size. It will help a lot.

I have a pretty good clean up crew

 

[Lenny_S]

You're good then, just wait it out, it will clear up.

 

[Tstanfill]

So is it brown hair algae?

 

[Lenny_S]

I don't think so, looks like diatoms to me. Like @saltwater man said earlier.
