I have a fine brown algae-like growth on most of my ornaments and fake plants. I think they are diatoms.
I added a phosphate filter media and a UV sterilizer, but it doesn't seem to be helping.
Phosphate levels are 0.25.
When I first added the phosphate media it seemed to help for a few days, but no more.
I've had it for a few weeks and when I clean off the ornaments at a water change, it comes back.
You can see it on the vase and one side of the fake plant leaves in the background.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
