I believe I have some diatoms in my tank - nothing im too worried about. The tank has been running since November, I got the diatoms maybe 3-4 weeks ago. I’ve done water changes, frequent maintenance cleans and it’s not going away. I know people say it’s normal for new tanks, but should it be going away soon?

Just wondering. Is the nitrate level high?
