Ok so I had a 30 gallon tank set up for a little over a year and did not have the proper lighting, until recently.....I got married and we used some of our cash pile to buy a nice MH/power compact setup..........Aqualight Pro to be exact. Anyway, a freind of mine was in the process of getting out of the hobby due to lack of room, and he gave a lot of LR......all cured and from a well established tank..........anyway, since the new lighting and new rock, I have had a diatom outbreak....my question is, should a do more frequent water changes, or just keep my regular routine......and also...........is my tank going into a cycle again?Thanks. Oh and all my levels are right on target!
 
Just give it time, the Diatoms will grow on LR that has been taken out of the water. to your tank, that LR is new, your tank need to adjust.
