So...If dosing for silicates to get a diatom bloom - to out compete dinos.......Where should you see the majority of the diatoms? I seem to have quite a few diatoms on the glass? But not a whole lot when I pull the 'gunk' from the sand or swaying brown strands.
First pic is a 'strand' that was flowing in the water. Just dinos.....no diatoms.
Second/third pic is a sample I took off the glass. Lots of diatoms...and green stuff - very few dinos.
Fourth pic is a sample from the sand - some diatoms....LOTS of dinos.
Also....Some of the green things were moving? Phytoplankton? Or something else?
