Diatoms Have Gotten Worse...Suggestions?
The diatoms which have been consuming one of the ornaments in my tank (you have all seen the photos) have seemingly grown completely out of control now -- they're all over both sails of the shipwreck ornament and it looks really bad...
I was being told that these go away over time on their own, but they have gone the other way (just like everything else that happens in my tank) in that they're growing like wildfire -- at this point, should I replace the ornament with an identical one? They're still available at my LFS...will the diatoms eventually reduce and disappear?
