Are you having any cyano bacteria problems?Also do you have a sump?

 

[Ryeguy1284]

I have a lot of that brown powdery stuff every where I just did a water change and I do have a sump/refugium I clean the tank and the next day its brown again I just got some cemi pure

I know the name just don't remember diatoms I think

Are you using RO/DI for your water changes?

 

[Ryeguy1284]

yes I am I get it from my lfs

 

[Ryeguy1284]

I do have a small spot of cayno in the back of the tank I just seen

If your tank is still relatively new, you will geg the diatom bloom. But there is no need to panic, as this normally only last a couple weeks and will be gone without any intervention.

How long is tank been up and running? Sounds to me like its finishing its nitro cycle. This will cause little bubbles all over. I had them everywhere and it was driving me crazy. It should only last a couple of weeks. If its not a new tank then its your water parameters causing the issue.

If its brown, and theres alot of bubbles, and you don't think its diatoms, then it may be Dinos.
