Hi,

I have Waterbox Cube 20. In beginning I was having algae in my tank on all sides of the glass. This lasted for about 3 months. And it was green. I was cleaning it like 3 times a week.
After that it became like a layer of brown algae and that lasted to 2-3 months. Same thing when it comes to cleaning, 2-3 times a week.

Now after all that I don't see anything on my glass. After like 4 weeks or so not much at all and it really doesn't need any kind of glass cleaning. I am just not sure what is happening. I been using all same. Water changes, same salt. Same feeding schedule and same amounts of food.

Is this good or bad sign? Should I do something else to check on this, or just let it go? Any advices would be appreciated.

Thanks A.

The algae was a normal part of cycling. This is a good sign that means your tank is more stable.
 

Freshwater filter only or is it? Have you ever used an HOB filter on a saltwater tank?
