Aquarium Advice Freak
Hello all, new to Aquarium Advice. I'm starting up a 38 gallon tank, and i'm preffering a reef tank. The tank is up and running with about 10lbs of live rock, 1 Koralia #2 powerhead and CC as my substrate. I've had the rock in the tank for about 2 weeks now and last night I noticed some diatom on the rockwork. I'm leaving for FL on 4/23 and i'll return on 5/1. If I put the lights on a timer at around 8 hours at a time, what should I expect when I get home ?? Should I put a small CUC in the tank before I leave to help fight the diatoms, or leave it and hope my tank doesn't have a outbreak ?? Thanks
This is my 2nd SW tank, the first was about 6 years ago and I don't remember having the diatoms in my tank. I'm sure I had them, just forgot how I got rid of them !!
