Hi guys,
This is my first saltwater tank so everything is completely new to me. I have a 10 gallon that has been running for almost three weeks now. Just last week I got a diatom bloom and I think hair algae on the glass. Today I scrubbed it all off the walls. I have diatoms on the sand bed and LR. I'm using Red Sea Coral Salt and the salinity is at 1.023. I just wanted to know what I could do to reduce this and prevent it in the future.
Equipment:
10 Gallon
AquaClear 30 w/ stock media
Koralia Nano
Finnex Marine+ 20"
Livestock:
2 Ocellaris Clownfish (I got one last week and one yesterday)
1 Red Legged Hermit
2 Blue Legged Hermit
4 Nassarius Snails
3 Nerite Snails
5 Frags (Mostly Zoas)
2 Green Mushrooms
