Is this diatoms? Or just aging rocks?

[canadianeh]

Since I feed the coral once a week and use reef nutrition liquid type of foods, and feed anemones 2 times per week, it looks like I have another diatom bloom. My tank is 4 months old. I had one bloom 2 months ago and it was all gone.

Is this diatom bloom, or just my rocks aging? I also noticed one tiny bubble algae that I removed yesterday, and strings of hair algae here and there.

Looking at the pictures you have your tank set up near windows, might be algae growth from sun light . You mentioned bubble algae, how did you remove it? You have other clean up crew besides the snail? Crabs might help. What are your water parameters?

Window blinds always closed everyday and only opens around 6 pm in the evening.

My schedule weekly 5 gallons WC is tonight. I also measure parameters weekly tonight.

I haven't gotten any crabs because I don't want risk of them killing my snail. I am looking at emerald crab though
