Brown algae on new sand
 

I put in a 1" sand bed last week came home today it was covered in brown algae is there anything I can do or just let it run it's coarse.
Any thoughts.

Cheers

Hi, I seem to recall mine went through the same phase but then my tank is not doing well right know so don't take my opion as gospel!!

Don't worry about it. Those are diatoms and are a normal part of establishing a tank.

Thanks for the info I thought it was normal just never had sand before.

Cheers
