Tropiquarium 88 - set up for about 3 years
External Fluvel filter 2 power heads 1 wet/dry trickle filter (internal) 2 clowns 2 Green Chromis 1 Orange spotted Goby 1 Cleaner shrimp 1 bubble anenome 2 Beadlets 1 pulse coral (small) 30 Nassarius snails Small amount of Caulerpa grape small amount of Caulerpa (ribbon type stuff!) High (20ppm) Nitrates LOTS AND LOTS of brown powdery diatoms which I can't get rid of! I got some of the good algae to help with Nitrates, etc but I can't seem to get it to grow. Also have a thick covering opf the brown powder (diatoms?) I placed a phosphate removing bag into the external filter but then read that this will affect my good algae (which I can't seem to grow!) Any advice GREATLY recieved!!! (Please?!) mIKE |

Try some turbo snails and maybe a tang that should help. The Nassarius snails are better at turning over your sand bed. Put 1 turbo for every gallon, should help out. |
