Do Not Listen To Me!!!
Ok so my tank params are on spot.
I got a SS Goby a few weeks ago maybe and whether it is coincidence or not the sand started getting discoloration on it.
At first it was just some but now it is widespread. The color of the sand takes on a greenish brownish tint but just barely. This is only where the clumps are. It is also clumpy to the point it has to be smashed up.
Nothing else in the tank seems to be having any issue. It is Fiji Pink sand
If I clean it or mix it up it seems like it is back the next day. This and the fact the Goby seems to like to dig around the rocks perimeter only makes it look worse.
I have read it was silicates and brown algae.
My glass if left for 3 days is not clean at all.
I only feed one cube for 14 fish a day and I do give them 1/2 to 1 seaweed sheet per day.
Maybe I should turn up my skimmer as it is pretty dry.
