The puffer wont harm any fish, but it will kill and eat any crustaceans, be it shrimp or snails. How long does it usually take for diatoms to decline after setup? The tank is approximately 3 months old, but had a filter change and added extra biological media about 2 weeks ago.

Thank you. I will see what I can do about that. Like previously stated, I cant really have snails. If I could, I would.

Today I took some pictures of some of my plants that seem to have some sort of browning on them. I am not sure what it is, but my assumption is that it might be either Diatoms or Cyanobacteria. Does anyone have any idea, or perhaps any remedies for this? Thanks!

So essentially all the issues I have right now stem from lack of pressurized CO2? I can always add a powerhead for extra flow, but as it stands now I do not think it is needed. It seems and feels that the flow is strong enough to push everything around the tank. I have a spraybar positioned at...

Yeah, I understand. Thanks. I try to ensure a good flow either way so that the oxygen can travel throughout the tank easily and also to ensure waste does not build up. Cant there be pinholes in leaves from lack of nutrients? Or is it because of bad flow? What would be a good flow for a 125...
