terryansimon Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 check your PO4/NO3 amounts. also check your photoperiod/feeding habits. do you use removal media like rowaphos/phosguard or a denitrator or macroalgae? I'm also having diatom algae right now. also very the sian. but what to do. its a teething issue that every tank going through maturity.
