I would recommend you to give your system some time, stop adding corals and fish at the moment until the brown stuff has disappear. Lets see if it does decrease in the next 2 weeks, if it does increase further actions might be necessary.

Thank you for the pictures, indeed it looks like cyanos. I do see a couple of choices to get rid of them:- Mixture of CoralSnow and ZeoBac
- Mixture of CoralSnow and CyanoClean
- A-Balance
The first option has helped many in the past to get rid of them, therefore dose 1 drop ZeoBac mixed with...Leave a comment:

Welcome to ZeoVit.com !
If you are basically pleased with your corals and if you are able to keep nutrients like PO4 and NO3 stabile low the “Coral System” might be the better choice for your mixed reef. If you have issues with nutrients additional it might make sense to implement the...Leave a comment:

Sorry to hear about the looses. The nutrient situation in your system is basically not a problem and I would also not recommend to dose “nutrients” in a separate way. I had running all my reefs without detectable PO4 and NO3 levels and the corals where always doing fine an growing massive.

Basically you can split the dosage also but from my experience most of the products work better if dosed once instead of smaller additions. If you like to you can give it a try to see if you get better results in this case.

As you mention that the film does disappear while the lights are off and grow back when the light is switched on in the morning might it be Dinoflaggelate instead of Cyanos ?

Für ein mit dem ZeoVit System laufendes Becken würde ich Dir empfehlen die Produkte ehr einzeln zuzugeben, das gibt Dir mehr Kontrolle da Du wesentlich „feiner“ dosieren kannst.
Im Moment sind keine weiteren Produkte notwendig, auf längere Sicht macht ggf. noch CoralSnow, BioMate...Leave a comment:

Wie Jacky schon geschrieben hat, die Algen sind ein Teil des Einfahrprozesses, sie sollten bald wieder verschwinden.

Ist es eine Art Belag oder handelt es sich um „höhere“ Algen ?

Thank you for the pictures, the fish stocking level does look moderate also so I would rule them out causing the elevated NO3 level.
Nick did mention some really good points, I would try those changes to see if it does cause a slow decrease of NO3, otherwise I can not see anything unusual...Leave a comment:

That is a lot of fish for such fresh system, at the moment do not add additional fish.
Does the stuff on the sand decrease while the lights are off and grow back quick in the morning when the lights are switched on again ?

Bei 260 Liter netto Wasservolumen würde ich Dir empfehlen die Dosierung wie folgt bis Tag 14 durchzuführen:
ZeoBac - 2 Tropfen täglich
ZeoStart – 0.25 ml 2 x täglich (1 x morgens / 1 x abends)
SpongePower – 2 Tropfen täglich
Ab dem 14. Tag kann die Zugabe...Leave a comment:

The rocks you have used look like live rock to me so this will speed up the cycle however the system is still very young and the biology will get improved furthermore over the next couple of month. From the picture I can not tell you which kind of stuff this is and how it has spread to your system already....Leave a comment:

Difficult to give you a recommendation with the leak of information about your system. Basically the lower the nutrient concentration is the less of the product should be necessary to improve your corals. For most systems 1 ml / 100 liters net water volume 1 – 2 x weekly does work fine. If corals...Leave a comment:
