:Hi,
:my sw tank is about a month and a week old now,
:it has an anemone, yellow tang, and tomato clown.
:However,
:every day there is a small build up of brown dust like material.
:When I brush it with a stick, it goes away.
:Maybee sand sifters would help?
:What do you reccomend?
Not worry so much, your tank is cycling, but brush it off the glass and rocks, but do not move around the gravel, you can wave the brush inches above the gravel to help move about the brown algae, a few snails would do nice about now. And most of all, don`t have the aquarium lights on for long periods.
Happy Fishing ><{{{{"> Buddy
