Hello guys,
In the last 2 days my LR has gotten covered with a mustard yellow looking stuff. I did that on Sunday and I did a water change and went away, but now is back. I checked all the level and they seem fine. Please let me know if you know what is this :confused:

thank you

Looks like you have diatoms. :) Very normal to go through a diatom bloom followed by a green hair algae bloom as the tank cylces and stabilizes. No need to worry, it will go away on its own. Continue to use RO/DI water if you aren't already. ;)
