I'm having my first algea(diatom) bloom after 7 wks, which I know is normal.
Its just a dusty film on the glass and small portion of the sand.
I think I may have asked for this seeing as I accepted 30# LR covered in hair algea from my dad who was breaking down a neglected tank.
To make matters worst, I was given a chunk of Caulerpa from a commercial display tank that a buddy owns. All but half of a stem quickly died, I read that this is why my nitrates are high.
My question is should I add more macroalgea to absorb the high nitrates? I did a water change Thursday which dropped it from 80-20, I will do another one tomorrow.
