| Re: Diatoms!!! Let nature take its course and they will disappear soon. You can get a diatom filter to remove some but it is usually just part of the cycling process. There are several critters that just love diatoms but what do they do once the diatoms disappear. |

| Re: Diatoms!!! let it be. if its brown diatoms then it will likely leave in a week or too. keep testing your water and make sure everything continues to go as planned, and keep up on the water changes.
