Hi All,
My tank has been up and running for about a month and a half post cycle. I thought I had what looked like the traditional diatom bloom, but now I’m not so sure. The brown looks a little more stringy and seems to have some bubbles, which is a bit concerning. I’d love some help with the id and any suggestions on dealing with it, or if it’s just the wait and it will clear bloom of a newer tank. Pic attached, parameters below.
ph-8.0
Salinity-1.025
Ammonia-0
Nitrite-0
Nitrate-Reading below 5, however I’m wondering if the bloom is binding it and I’m not getting a true reading
Appreciate the help as always!
