Diatom problem

[junyong84]

relax lar....just do your water changes regularly and soon it will go away....its a stage every reefer will face....

for y the tap water filteration would work, its probably there are still sillicate, nirtate and phosphate within the sands and LR itself...give it time, it will exhast it itself.....

diatoms cover sand is still not tat bad..get some sand shifters shld do the job...

but when diatoms start covering ur rocks...there will be a headache!!!

u might wanna check ur NO3 and do grow some alage in ur refugium its pretty effective
