I have the usual unsightly diatoms now in my 90G tank after about a month of it being up and running.
My last tank had such a bad diatom bloom it actually was the reason I tore it down, it was so frustrating.
However, with this new tank, I used all RODI water this time and got myself an ESHOPPS 150 skimmer running. I'm still seeing a good amount of diatoms especially on the sand, and even after a water change I did yesterday, they came back..QUICKLY.
So how long does this usually last? / any ways to fight it off quicker?
