diatomacious algae bloom
I have a new tank (55gal). Since adding the lights (lunar aqualight) there has been a diatom bloom in my tank. The tank is not near a window or in the path of direct sunlight.
I have only added the total (+20lbs) amount of LR to the tank as of yesterday, so there is going to still be more cycling left.
What can I expect to happen AND How can i control the bloom without there being any other organisms? Are there any organisms or techniques I can use to control the bloom in light of the cycle not being complete? (ie turning off the lights, or adding snails etc..) Your thoughts are appreciated!
