I need help identifying the brown spots on the substrate as well as the dark brown coloring and red spots on the rocks.
Tank is about a year old
This started about 3 months ago when I increased light intensity to 65 percent and light color at 25%. About a week later this happened. Both overflow walls had brown stuff all the way to the top and the rocks had dark brown patches.
Did the 3 day blackout but did not really change much. Without lights the sand bed looks greenish. No bubbles or hair.
Light intensity back to my usual 25 percent max and color 15 percent max
