Hello everyone,
From NJ, and decided to get into the reef world. I currently have a 150 gallon setup, and it’s been going through it’s cycle for two weeks now. I have some chromas in the tank to help out with the cycle. They are doing well. I came across Some diatoms (brown algae). It scared the crap out of me, because it came out of nowhere, overnight. Did my research and found out it was a phase, and my tank cycle is coming to a end.
What should be my next step?
Should I look into a clean up crew?
Should I do nothing about the diatom?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
