Once the diatom bloom hit my last tank the water was good enough to toss in a small cuc, my only loss was a blue leg hermit who got shell jacked by another hermit.
You think diatoms are bad....wait till you get hair algae.

I don't think they are bad... Just part of the cycle process. I've had hair algae before because I didn't know how to maintain a proper tank.
I just noticed you went with the pukani, you will have hair algae lol. I did the same, and had it everywhere.

I've read that the pukani had a lot of die off and leached phosphate which created issues. But there is a give and take to everything. There are ways to easily balance it out and I don't mean chemicals. I've bought it knowing what would need to be done.
