Hey all, havent been posting much lately. Anyways, as the topic says, I found an easy, common way to get rid of diatoms. Java Fern. As I was moving the guppies to the 20, I snagged a few clumps of the stuff and tossed it in with them. Two days later, NO diatoms! I did the same thing with the 20, and it looks better. I'd assume that the Java Ferns use the same nutrients as the diatoms, but are able to outcompete them. Just thought I'd share.
