System...75 gal, with about 2.5 watts per gallon of PC lights, berlin style, prizm skimming with a canister filtered that is maintained often. This system has softies.
This is an established aquarium that I maintain for hobbie cash. The delimma is there is this brown-rust colored film over the rock. I believe it is some kinda algae, but does not appear to be a diatom bloom. I do not have a pic right now...just wondering what it is. I have been doing a lot of water changes. The temp is a little low, I just added a small heater. This system has three power heads with lots of flow. I use instant ocean and good, declor tap water. What could this brown-rust film be? I siphon it out because it comes off the LR easily, but it comes back the next day.
