Without more info such as tank set up, water params and what you are testing for its hard to identify what you have and what possibly could be causing it.

Let's see...this post is about 9 hours old.
Is this what passes for acceptable these days or will someone eventually moderate?

WOW, rude! I am not sure if I am going to post on this site again. Everyone seems on edge every time I do. Good luck!

Anemone_Head, if you don't need help then why did you post a question? i.e. "Anything that will get rid of this stain?"

anemone_head: I suggest you read the TOS.
Posting something like that again will get you kicked off this site. And in all honesty we don't want your immature ways here on RB.
