Hi everyone. My 29g nano tank is 5-6 weeks old, and is mostly through it's cycle...but still very new.
Last week I added some softy corals and 2 clownfish.
About three days ago, I began to get what I think is diatom bloom...but I want to be sure it's not something more heinous. Should I gravel vac it, or leave it until it recedes on its own?
I appreciate your experience and advice! What does it look like from the pic?
My water parameters are:
Nitrite: 0
Ammonia: 0
Nitrate: 10
Alkalinity: 210
pH: 8.2
Temp: 77.1
Salinity: 1.026
Have not tested phosphates this evening.
