Default Dust or algae all around the glass
I just upgrade my tank from 33G to 75G and i have it running for 3 weeks now..
I noticed that i have to scrape or use a magnet cleaner to keep the glass clear. looks like algae if i leave it for few days but it looks like dust everyday i use mag float..
Is this normal or am i missing something??
Thanks in advance..

teddy

I had the same problem as well but I found between my Lawnmower blennie and a certian number for turbo turban snails I only have to clean the glass once every week or two. Although you have more fish then I..
