I've been fighting with SCA for around three months already. Silica levels have been between 3 and 11 for almost two month, but diatoms are barely visible and it's always one type.
Are there ways to seed my tank with other types of diatoms with hope that they have more success in overtaking SCA?
 
Are you dosing silicate?
What are your NO3 and PO4?
