Woke up and it looks like I have rust all over the place in my tank. Is this detritus? Even my coralline is covered.

How about with a toothbrush... I had a similar buildup. Didnt happen over night though. Happend over time. And when I realized that my rocks all looked like, well like dirty rocks and I couldn't see the coraline anymore, I hit them with a toothbrush and it all came off and my rocks are bright purple again.

Same, everything’s open except the zoas. I’m pretty sure it’s diatoms after looking at pictures. I had this once before when I first cycled the tank. It just went away naturally. I dosed the tank with Vibrant. Anything else you would suggest.
