Hi all, no clue what this is but it has completely taken over my tank. I went around 1.5 months without a water change because I went on vacation (I know irresponsible). But in that time my tank has been completely taken over by brown dust. Attached is a licture

Looks like insufficient flow has allowed detritus to settle.

I doubt 6 weeks without a water change would cause it, that's about my regular water change schedule :)

If it is just detritus, blast it with a turkey baster and let it filter out, or syphon it out and replace the water.
