No problem! Those are great steps to take! If these don’t work, I’d be happy to help further! Keep me posted!No its an established tank. I am about to replace bulbs on my UV. I guess i should check my RO because it might not be doing its job!!! Thanks
I’m having this problem on an established tank. My RODI is producing 0 TDS out my white light intensity is 15% on my Red seas Reefleds. I have about 10 hermits and a watchman goby and some sand snails but this crap just sits on my sand and comes back even after sucking the sand.No problem! Those are great steps to take!

Get a diamond gobyI’m having this problem on an established tank. My RODI is producing 0 TDS out my white light intensity is 15% on my Red seas Reefleds. I have about 10 hermits and a watchman goby and some sand snails but this crap just sits on my sand and comes back even after sucking the sand.
Then him and my watchman would fight. I’ve had him for 5 years not really looking to get rid of him.Get a diamond goby
Hmmm...is it stringy it’s is it 100% diatoms? Maybe your rock is leaching silicates. What rock? Maybe increased water changes.

Nope not stringy just like a dusting but there’s a lot of it. I do about 10g water changes weekly but I’ll change it then it’s back on the sand writhing an hour. My rock was dry rock originally but it’s all about 4-5 years old now. This tank has been moved a few times over the years. Been with me about 3 months but I used the same water and stuff when we moved it.Hmmm...is it stringy it’s is it 100% diatoms? Maybe your rock is leaching silicates. What rock?

I would get a sample under microscope it could be dinoflagellates...silicate is taken up in a tank fast which is why diatom blooms dont last long ....in fact I dosed liquid silicate too induce a diatom bloom to out compete my dinos ....which was not stringy but rather a dusting ...a positive ID is a must ...Nope not stringy just like a dusting but there’s a lot of it.

Just looks like diatoms to me. By any chance is your rocks or sand or water storage leaching silicates.
Here’s a pic before the lights today. Gonna change the water again
What would I be looking for? The rocks have been in the tank for a few years. My water storage is a Non brute trash can.Just looks like diatoms to me. By any chance is your rocks or sand or water storage leaching silicates.
Id get a silicate test kit and test your water storage. In an established tank, I can't see it being anything other than plastic leaching silicates from a storage container.What would I be looking for? The rocks have been in the tank for a few years. My water storage is a Non brute trash can.
