Found strange brown spots on the tank's glass. Now on its 3rd week of cycling. Nitrite levels have lowered to a very safe zone, while nitrates are pretty high.

Are these brown *a bit hairy* spots, diatom algae as suspected ? Is this the result of high nitrates or the phosphates and silicates in the water or it just feels like popping up in a new aquarium to irritate newbies from continuing this hobby ? Any remedies to these brown crap are appreciated. :)

We R experiencing same situation & have just put in 2 turbo snails yesterday. They R doing their job cleaning up the brown "scum" :) . Dun think they can get into the crevices tho ... well it beats looking at brown-wall-glass. R diatoms & algae the same thing? Might need 2 research more on how 2 decrease the incidence tho ... mayB cut down feeding thus also decreasing bio-load I guess. I think there R other ways that we can help too but haven't had the practical-experience yet, just theory lah.

Do it 2 believe it!

Hope U get yr "browns" in check soon. Cheers!
