Hello guys hope you all are doing great ..
Question 1
My aquarium is 7 months old , i have gone throw the green algae bloom now it is gone
But from last 6 months diatoms are not going anywhere
My fish & corals are doing great ..
Question 2
I have no sump and no skimmer in my 55 gallon tank only hang in back poshphate reactor and canister
2 months back i installed one tray on the top of aquriam and with some white cotton the water flow froms it .. but every other day it turns brown due to diatoms i guess i clean them and install them again
But here i am thinking that may be this is the cause of diatoms because my VIPRASPECTRA 150 watt LED is directly focused on my tray which contains cotton ? And may be thats why i am not getting rid of diatoms
Or i dont know if this is Natural phenomena that Diatoms take 7 months to disappear ? Please guide me anybody
