SRC Member bugattilambo Posted September 4, 2011 SRC Member Share Posted September 4, 2011 Nice!! Looks like diatoms are gonna boom soon on some of the rocks. Good equipment choice,should consider getting a tunze skimmer small enough for this tank of yours! Quote Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever.

Good equipment choice,should consider getting a tunze skimmer small enough for this tank of yours! diatoms gona boom? how come? all this while I was thinking "Heng Ah, use distilled water no diatoms" ... but has been cycled for more than 5 weeks and no sign of diatoms so far.... actually one of the compartment was sized to fit the tunze or Nac QQ or even Boyu WG310 but wana to try ATS first .. if failed then try skimmer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member william_choo Posted September 4, 2011 SRC Member Share Posted September 4, 2011 bro, blue moonlight will induce diatoms. your tank is good enough with the lumen aqua.

SRC Member TayHongSiang Posted September 5, 2011 SRC Member Share Posted September 5, 2011 getting a skimmer doesn't mean no diatoms...diatoms are bacteria, not algae...they come bcoz the biological system in the tank is established...n there r nutrients available for good and bad bacteria to strive. Skimmer can only get rid of 30-40% of undissolved nutrients.... so long as u do water change diligently and clean yr tank walls often...and dose bacteria after water change shd control these diatoms from overwhelming yr tank...and flow is more impt.

SRC Member TayHongSiang Posted September 5, 2011 SRC Member Share Posted September 5, 2011 bro, i thought they are algae ? same class as planktons ... sorry for the confusion. to be specific, i meant those cynanobacteria that causes red slime or blue green algae. brown algae are fuel mainly by silicates - sand bed in this case. diatoms is a general term Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
