Default Re: Brown (what I think is) Diatom

Once the tank is done cycling remove the carbon altogether. Remove all phosphate pouches as well. Run the skimmer and if you don't have a sump make a prefilter for your skimmer DYI. The brown diatom will be gone in less than a week, and so will your phosphates.
