My tank just recently finished cycling and well, a diatom bloom has arrived... I'm a little worried about it.
Brown stuff on all the rocks, some on the sand and some on the glass.
Parameters are great.
Temp: 79
PH: 8.2
Salinity: 1.023
Ammonia: 0
Nitrite: 0
Nitrate: 5
Should I start checking for phosphates? I don't have a phosphate test kit yet.
Should I just stay the course and will the diatoms eventually go away?
