diatoms your tank is new, they all get them in the beginning. they will go away with time on their own. many people have them for 6 weeks so you got another month to go.

Just be careful adding so many fish so quickly. If you didn't even know what diatoms were, be careful what fish you are adding to a cycling tank. Blue powder tangs and others mentioned are really not fish you wanna start a tank with. just my opinion. Pretty pricey

I hate going into my fish store and hearing grown men and women refer to fish as Nemo or Dorie. I have heard someone ask; "How much are your Nemo's?"
But yes, your tank is new...it is natural. I would do a lot of reading and research right now. Otherwise, you could have disaster after disaster.
