 diatom algae problem Ok so i just had my lights off for 3 days to get rid of this diatom bloom from adding the live sand. I had the lights on for one day and it was back. I think the water im using is part of the problem. My RO/DI unit came yesterday and I will have it running tonight so from now on ill be using that. My question is, what can i do to rid the tank of the problem?  |
