Me vs diatoms! Diatoms winning...


Recommended Posts

KH reduce diatom?

Yeah, it might helps...I was on dosing regime for sometime where my kH is about 7, diatom blooms non-stop, then after getting back to CR, with higher kH, totally no more diatoms. Probably with pH lower and kH higher makes the diatom disappear. My personal experience anyway

Try Fauna Marin Ultraphos, besides phosphates it removes silicates too. It cleared diatoms and dinoflagellates at Iwarna's revamped 8ft tank in 3 days.
