Aquarium Advice Regular
When we first put up our 125 gallon saltwater tank almost three months ago we started getting brown diatom. We got a clean-up crew of twelve crabs, two chocolate chip star fish & a cleaner shrimp to help get rid of the diatom. It was all over the back glass (which is black & very noticeable) & all over the sand bed! After putting the small clean-up crew in it, most of it went away. Then yesterday I noticed its back & getting horrible! Is there anything I can do to help it go away or just leave it & let it work it's course?
Also, now we have other fish, corals & live rock we threw the chocolate chip star fish in the sump to clean up the diatom in that so they don't kill anything in the 125.
