How oh how do I get this ugly stuff on my sand to go away? It is a 28g nano. I do 5 gallon water changes every week and top off with RO/DI from the LFS. Any suggestions? Thank you

I just cleaned it all out with a net, did a water change and turned off the lights. See how that does in a few days.

Depending on what it was, lights out for 3 days would kill it, if it were algae.

That's what I was thinking. Lights out and some fresh salt water.

I have those too and if it is red, then I was told it is hard to get rid of. I use a fine net and started scooping it up and it took almost 2 months and finally got rid of them.

Mine isn't red, I know it's hard to tell from the picture. Mine is brown and light green.
