If it's brown in colour, no worries. Get some snailies to help u. Do not disturb the sandbed.

New tank eh?

[metals99]

get turbo snails sure clean up but if u leave em'' they will slowly dissapear when your tank condition got better

My tank is starting to get the diatom bloom.. getting more and more brownish.. Really very unpleasant Is it true phosguard helps to speed up the process of clearing the diatoms?

[Valleyman]

Get a good skimmer. Was having some brown cyano problem which my snails avoided and I had to scoop off the affected sand every other day. A couple of days after running a Remora, the brown patches turned greenish and then disappeared.

rowaphos and contraphos are some of the better brands. get some stuff it in a internal filter and juz let it runin your tank

[Dispar_Anthias]

Wonder how big your tank is and what skimmer are you using

my sea cuke is doing a great job

i think seacuke just sift the sand and cover the brown sand with clean sand from below it. dun think it eats diatoms. just wait for the phospates and silicates to burn up. can try rowaphos or contraphos. put it into an internal filter and throw it into your tank and wait. do it natural way. dun bother with snails all these.

Hmmm..chemical filtration is natural? Snails are the artificial method then?

My sea cuke stuff itself with sand from its front end, and later, the sand comes out the other end cleaner.
