New member
i have been batting , i dont know if was cause when i move i didnt brought a lot of water for my system so i had to let it fill out with rodi water and the add more salt to the water , since then i been having diatom and two week after i added sand and started coming out

two weeks ago i replace my light bulb and gfo and carbon , and i also took out the sand because i thought the sad had silicate but it seem to be all over my tank already

i posted some picture of my tank

Between the super low salinity then everything getting burnt with undissolved salt you basically hit the reset button on that rock.

Give it time and treat it like an initial cycle, this is a normal part of it.
 
You might want to post in your native language and let us google translate it..
I don't understand half of what you are saying..

Diatoms though are 100% a normal part of a new tank/cycling process and will go away on their own..

Ok... Again diatoms are a NORMAL part of a new tank cycling/maturing process and WILL pass (go away, leave, disappear) on their own provided you are using RO/DI water and not adding any other sources of silicates,etc.. to the water..

Diatoms can be visibly present in a tank for a while but it usually goes away for the most part in a couple weeks or less as the tank matures and the diatoms absorb any remaining silicates.
