Will this work?

[DarkTang]

You mean for pests and stuff? It's rock from his 100 gallon brute tub sump

Well that and also leaching phosphates

 

[DarkTang]

Ok I'm getting a diatom bloom now is that bad?

 

[ReefFreak@]

Nope that's part of a cycle.welcome to the uglies

 

[DarkTang]

Cycle won't kill anything will it?

 

[ReefFreak@]

Well did you see the ammonia spike then nitrite then nitrate?

 

[DarkTang]

Nope too much water volume to tell?

 

[ReefFreak@]

So are you telling me you completed your nitrogen cycle? If you did now your going into the alage cycle. Depending on the quality of your live rock this can last up to a year

 

[ReefFreak@]

The diatoms will last for a week or so depending on how much silicates are in your system
