Kinda looks like diatoms. Is the sand new?

Yep. Month old

In the nuisance algae section, there is a way to test if it diatoms. Super easy, but can’t remember lol. Let me see if I can find it.

Here it is. It’s more for Dino’s, but speaks about diatoms being identified as well. But the pics looks like diatoms and they will just go away when the silicates run out.

But if your bored, you can do the below.

Note to self- you're too old to drink with young people. We had cocktails last night after the service to celebrate his life. Told funny stories about him and quoted "Markisms"

@Raege she couldnt hang with us and the floor jack. Nuff said

I think this may be cyano? Not sure though. Am I able to turkey bast the sand like I did in my last tank or will that make this worse?

Diatoms and with silicates, will take a couple of weeks to dissipate. Siphon occasionally and add if you dont have:

turbo snails
astrea snails
nerite snails
cerith snails
6-8 blue leg hermits
nassarius snails

I have 4 astrea snails and 5 blue leg hermits

Nassarius and nerites will be the ones to best attack diatoms

Ok! I want to get a few Trochus to replace astrea too

Good morning y'all. Our weather can't decide if it's Fall or not. I am trying to keep track of Delta too. Looking forward to Fall Break next week and Andrew finally being caught up with school.

Hippie kid's tank was almost a total loss. Dino's suck, but I do see some pops of color. There are survivors. No sign of his bta yet, but his tank never got the smell I expected with it's loss. I'm betting it's somewhere recovering in the rock.
