Brown Dust
well i always wondered what is the brown dust in my sump. Its not diatoms, i wish i had a picture to show exactly what it looks like. When i swirl the water a little the brown dust moves like if it was real dust. What can be causing this?

I'd also say detritus, I have it in my sump too and just try to move it with water changes.
