“…and how to deal with them in a calm efficient way.” As opposed to dealing with diatoms in a frantic way? A panicked way? It just made me smile. 😂

Hey Logan, Thanks for the video! I got the brown algae now on my week 3 of cycle. Quick question: once you clean the tank well, do you also replace the filter components? Seems counterproductive to kiss goodbye to all the bacterial buildup, but wondering if diatoms can come back if filter not changed. Thanks in advance!

Don't replace but feel free to clean the mechanical filtration like sponges and replace floss

Helllllp.. I don't know what to do.. I keep losing fish.. My tank is cycled.. I have checked the levels and everything is fine apart from the water here is a little hard but not much.. Temperatures good.. Oxygen levels good.. Not overfeeding.. Not over stocked.. I do have a small amount of diatoms.. But I keep losing fish.. They are tetras mainly lemon and orange flame tetras... Could it be the small amount of diatoms or is it due to the water being a little hard if so how do I soften it.. I am so lost right now and extremely upset losing my fish

Likely ammonia due to a poorly cycled tank. Diatoms wouldn't cause death like that

@@LoganRandoAquascaping no I brought a Ammonia monitor it's fine... I don't quite know what happened but things calmed down a few days after I wrote this.. I think its because we have very hard water in my part of the UK.. So I got a water softener and it seems to have done the trick.. I thought downsizing due to illness would make it easier.. I'm finding it harder 😂

Hi! I have a betta tank and I can't seem to get the diatoms off of my more porous decor. I'm leaning towards using hydrogen peroxide but I'm wondering if it's safe. Also, how often should I do the 80% water changes? Thank you for the video! very helpful :)
@LoganRandoAquascaping
5 ай бұрын
For porous decor, electric toothbrush is your best friend. 80% water changes are massive and really shift parameters so use them sparingly. Smaller more frequent changes are better for stability
