Hey guys,
I had a couple questions to ask. I started off with a 30 gallon FOWLR, now I have those fish in my 100 gallon tank, and the 30 gallon is a reef tank.
The 100 gallon was set up and cycled and ready for fish 4 months ago. However....the diatom will not go away :deadhorse1:
Salinity - 1.023
pH - 8.2
Nitrates/Ammonia/Nitrite - all zero
the only fish I have in the setup are a dogface puffer, yellow tang, 2 clowns, and a diamond goby. about 8 turbo snails that suck at cleaning anything up, and a frogspawn coral thats doing awesome.
Problem is, there is diatom everywhere. It won't go away. I do biweekly water changes of 15%. Any suggestions/help of how to make diatom disappear??
OH and I should add, overnight it will go away. Then, within 10 minutes of my lights being on in the morning, its back again -- EVERYWHERE!!!:mad2:
