Hi all!
New reefer here and new to reef2reef also! Glad to be on board so I’ve recently setup a fluval evo 13.5. Tanks been running about a month now and just finished cycling.
Parameters
PH- 8
Dkh -8
Phosphate - 0.3 (I know it’s high but was told is normal with newly cycled tank?)
Nitrate - 8-10
Saltilinity- 1.026-1.027
Just wondering are these photos below diatoms or the dreaded dinos?? I believe they are diatoms but just wanted to make sure from a more expert point of view as I know most of you know the initial start up of a reef as a beginner you’ve lots of doubts and worries!
Cheers all
