If the subject gets you a bit confused then I did i good job to make you come read thsi post/ question. I have already done a 15% water/ gravel clean up about a week ago. I have had my Tank for about 1 month now and I plan on doing a 10% water/ gravel clean every two weeks.

Anyways....little by little the fliter pipe, which has a little blue slide to increase/ decrease suction is turning orange. Some of my white gravel now is turning orange, and even my little castle in the tank, some parts are turning orange. Is this normal? Becuase i have not read anything about this. The only color i have read here, in the forums, is about the green algae, which I have none (knocks on wood).

So is this a normal thing? I know I'm going to have to clean it off, but what casues it to turn orange?

By the way i have 16 gallon tank with 2 sunset playwags (somethign like that), 3 Serpae Tetra, and 8 panda corys.
