bettaowner said:The diatoms are good. It just happens with new aquariums.
Homer8 said:I have a little bit of diatoms all the time, like your currently, in my brackish tank with sand and i always get a huge diatom take over once a month when i do a big water change and sand cleaning and filter clean up and all that good stuff but after a week my nerites get to all of it.
Homer8 said:get a nerite. they are attractive looking snails and they eat diatomes, atleast mine do. both of mine devour it. you do not have to take your fish out. it looks to me like you have sand in the tank which is the main reason you get diatomes.
