Looks to me this is a new scape. If so, the soil is not becoming white but showing it's actual color. The light is also making it appear whiter. The darker parts of the substrate are probably covers with diatoms making them look darker. Eventually all diatoms will disapear and the soil color will be homogeneous. This has happened to all tanks I have setup.Hi friend,
Since a week I have noticed a substrate is getting white. Initially there are appeared a small areas, after little time they is getting bigger.
If someone has any idea what to do? Don't want to make rescape.
Thanks!
