Hello everyone,
I've been keeping fish for years but just recently started a 40 gallon breeder. I know diatoms are normal even with freshwater. However I have a very simple setup. I'm not using rodi water, just conditioned tap water. So I'm thinking I may have a bit more of an ugly stage. Would I be better off utilizing an assortment of inverts, or utilitarian fish like sand sifting gobies, and baby tangs for algae control. I dont want to sound ignorant I'm just trying to set myself up for success. Tank currently has 2 baby ocellaris clowns, and a round of copepods.
