My 29 gal is about 3 weeks into its cycle, and I have brown stuff (which I think is diatoms from what I read) on the glass, rocks, plastic plants etc...) More shows up every day.
Fish: 5 zebra danios and 2 micky mouse platties.
My water parameters are:
pH : 7.0
Ammonia: 0.25
Nitrites and Nitrates: 0
I've had the light on a timer for about 10 hours a day, and the diatoms seem to be forming where the light is strongest. (and not under my rock arch where there is shadow)
I've been fairly careful not to overfeed (have only been feeding once a day) The platties seem to be eating some of it off the glass which is good. So my question is, should I just leave it be? Should I cut back the light?
