Total newbie. Well cycled tank has just had its first fish. Lots of pre-research done but when into it, it turns out that concern sets in and I forget what I've read!
Ammonia was 0 for first little while (PH, Nitrite and Nitrate all good) but ammonia has now crept up to 0.25ppm ish.

I was dealing with diatoms only on the sand bed. I'd siphon them out into a filter sock and put the water back into the tank and the sand into a pale. After time the diatoms were gone and I'm trying to narrow this down.
- water change caused them to thrive again.

Is this torch got enough flow? I have never had an indo. My Aussie does fine in low flow. I can’t get a small enough wave maker to get a random flow pattern going in my tank so it’s just flowing using the powerhead.
Pics and videos are from when I got it to this morning. It’s opening up well...

I was looking at my tank today, and noticed something strange. It was what I've now identified as a vermitide snail (its picture below) However, I was scraping off the calcified tube from the bottom of the frag plug of my australian green tip bubble hammer (wall) and I accidentally dropped him...
