I am at what I thought was end of diatom bloom I my new tank. It’s been running for about 2 months. All dry rock and 2 inch sand bed.
Nitrate-10
Phosphate-.25 or just under (api)
My question is if this is diatom or Dino? It seems to mostly blow away but some spots clumped when I cleaned tank last night.
I missed a spot in a crack of rock so I cleaned it with turkey baster and will see if it’s back by end of day. ( small patch of sand I couldn’t reach with syphon.
I don’t think it’s Dino’s, as I never had bottomed out nutrients.
Any help is appreciated!
