This stuff invaded my tank about a year ago and refuses to leave. It is like a brown fuzz all over my rocks. I took out all my rocks and scrubbed them with a toothbrush but the stuff came right back in a day or two. If anybody knows what it is and how to get rid of it, please let me know.

Thanks

Sounds like cyano to me.

Too many nutrient in your tank
feed less
Change water more frequently.
What are your water parameters?

I was out of the country for a month so haven't checked my water parameters. I tried to upload a picture of it but it wouldn't work for some reason. I just upgraded my protein skimmer, do you think this might help?
