Hi all new to planted tank. Current set up Fluval 240 - LED lighting 8.5 hrs daily.
Dosing carbon 3.4ml and liquid ferts 4.8ml daily. Had a diatom bloom - tank running approx 10 weeks.
I do a 25 % water change twice a week and try to wipe of diatoms of leaves rocks glass and gravel - Water parameters all good.
Posted some pics of the diatoms on leaves and rocks. Do I need to be concerned or will the diatoms reduce with time? They just make the new plants look so unsightly!
Should I being doing anything else?
Thanks
