Tank super dirty, corals unhappy?

[Cole2h2]

Hey yall! My tank seems to be going thru a dirty phase or something i need some advice, my livestock are 2 ocellaris clowns, cleaner shrimp, nano goby and hermits. There is red slime looking algea and brown too, my levels seem normal, i keep tank around 78-80 degrees and salinity is also normal any help

It’s normal when you first start out to go through a ugly stage. Wouldn’t be a bad idea to add some snails into your CUC crew that will move the sand around and help keep it clean. That is what I did when I first started I added some nassarius snails to stir it up for me.

That doesn’t really look so bad. How old is the tank?

Like 3 months, my GSP coral is closed up too currently

Scrape the glass, vac the sand, and change 1/3rd of the water.
