Hello all,

I have some rust colored deposits on the bottom and sides of my fish tank. Does anyone know what that is and how do I get rid of it for good? It cleans fairly easily by wiping the tank. How do I manage this?

I noticed that it's only in the tank with the fish in it and not in the sump tank. The deposit is on the bottom and sided, but you can see a better view with this picture. Thanks for your help.

Looks like biofilm in a brand new setup. Pretty much normal and I'd just leave it.

Cheers
