I started cycling my 37 gal FOWLR tank with a shrimp last Monday. I have about 12 lbs of LR, 32 lbs of base rock. Today the ammonia level was 0 (Tetratest kit), and I took out what was left of the shrimp.
I started the 65W PC light at 2 hours per day last Monday, increasing it to 10 hours per day right now. However, there are brownish blobs appearing on the LR and the base rock nearest the light.
Questions:
1. Are these the diatoms I've heard people talking about?
2. Should I decrease the hours of light?
