need to work on exporting nutrients, that sand is disgusting.
Yeah, I know. Diatoms is the only algae I really have. I used to have red slime and diatoms together. Then I got rid of the red slime and all I have left is to get rid of the diatoms.
The fighting conch should do the trick!

not really, gotta work on what actually makes the slime... phosphates.. run rowaphos or do the turfscrubber.

I don't like to use chemical filtration... I've never used chemical filtration and never will.
My filtration is live rock, live sand, chaeto and other micro algae, skimmer, and 10%-15% weekly water changes.

Yo Coral Keeper, I am glad someone else besides me doesnt like using chemiclas and goes with a natural approach :) I also have fighting conchs in each of my nanos and they seem to do the trick on the sandbed. i MEAN My sandbed is top notch looking. Superb white coloration all over :) I know that fighting conch will have your sandbed cleaned off tha diatoms in no time. Goodluck
