Hahaha! Very true. Need more data to make a definitive determination.Need to see this under the scope. You will see a LOT of guessing going on here
Well, if it's dinos, then you will have knocked them back significantly. If it's diatoms, time and flow along with good water quality will eventually turn it around.so after 3 days of black out its will be back to normal?
You could do that, but if it's silicates that are spurring a diatom bloom, they most likely won't be able to test for that.Should i take a water sample to my LFS? or what
That's a good observation. Maybe he could also just lower the power heads in the tank for the time being.I would add more flow. It looks like it just under the power heads
This was going to be my question as well.Is this new sand or 10 year old sand that came with the tank?
Did he get the sand from the beach as well? If so, most beach sand is silicate, not aragonite, and most likely the source of your silicate problem.I kept it bc he lived at the beach and had been putting shark teeth and some cool shells as he came across them at the beach, for 10 years. The 160lbs of figi live rock is 15 years old. Came out of his tank before this one.
