Just wondering.
Tank is a 75L cube in its' 8th week.
I test very regularly, almost every day at this point. I had the diatom scourge happen about a week ago. In 36 hours everything was covered with that charming brown.
Anyway, what I found interesting was the drop in phosphate directly coinciding with the diatoms.
Up until they hit my phosphates were in the 0.05 range give or take a point or two, but the day after they had dropped to zero and have remained there.
I got a significant clean up crew and the diatoms are basically gone (visually at least)
Just wondering if this drop is expected?
thanks for any thoughts
