Any tips for eradicating this nuisance?
I'm afraid it'll choke out my plants. It's covered my Anubias and covering a lot in my tank. Should I decrease light hours
Only run your hours 6 hours and that will help alot. If the tank isn't planted you can run some phosphate remover in the tank as it also removes silicates which is what the diatoms use. Otherwise a couple nerite snails will help keep diatoms cleaned up. You can also gently rub the infested leaves between your fingers to remove diatoms. Yes they will come back but at least they won't build up as thick.
I like the idea of snails. Perhaps I'll go grab a few tomorrow.
No sir. How much did the snails cost you?
Not bad. The shells in that link are pretty wild!
Well thanks everybody I think that about does it for my question. Appreciate it!
