So I am new to the hobby and my tank has been up for almost 6 weeks now. I have gone through the cycle and started adding my cuc. I started running my lights when I added the cuc and now I have diatoms. Everything I read about it says it happens and it will go away. But my questions are..
1. How long will it last before it goes away? Is it a week, a month? I have had them for about a week now and seems to be getting worse rather then better.
2. Should I be doing anything about it? Everything I read (or told) is to just let it go. So just let it over run the tank?
3. What actually causes it to go away? Water quality improvement, increased cuc? What is the actual reason the diatoms will eventually disappear.
Thanks.
