Video of (diatoms?)

[Doobie65]

Most have said its diatoms when I posted pics. So here is a video. I though diatoms were chalky, dusty? This is short waving dark brown stuff. Rodi water tested 0 for silicates and phosphate tested 0 . Both salifer test kit. Tank is about 10 weeks old. This started about 4-5 weeks ago. Thanks for any input on diagnosing.

I agree with diatoms and will slowly fix itself, you can manually clean but will come back. Just keep up on husbandry and a good clean up crew, be careful with adding a bunch of of coral and such. Most will say that you’re way too early and I will agree....stable parameters is a must

I know I added too soon just not knowing better. Ive been checking params every other day and all are good besides my alk is 6.9 a little low. I do a 20 percent wc every week. I hope your right on being diatom. Just puzzles me that people say its chalky, doesnt look chalky but isnt snotty either and no bubbles in it.... I have a lot to learn. Thank you for taking time to chat with me, I really appreciate it!

We’ve all been there with mistakes, place is full of people that will give great advice and I’m surprised no one else has posted here
