  1. try to reduce current. if still the same, enrich your feed before feeding.
  2. 500ml live L strain rotifers $12. 20g dry feed $6 powdery form. For 2litre cultured water, add 1g Once every 10-14days. 20g additive $6 powdery form. For 2litre cultured water, add 5g every 3-6months. They take months to dissolve. These are essential for rotifers. No water changed is required once added
  3. Do you add any freshwater to replace evaporation? Diatoms will intake silicates beside phosphate and nitrate. If your water does not contain silicate, it will not grow. Silicate enters our aquarium thru tapwater or some distilled water.
  4. Are you buying premixed seawater from oceansing?
  5. Immerse the seagel in the tapwater for a period before using the water.
  6. Copper will not kill bacteria but retard them. If you are still in doubt, test ammonia. Whatever the result is remove copper first.
  7. Increase dissolved oxygen and position wave maker to blow those affected areas
  8. The only effective method is get rid of silicate in tap water before using it. Without silicate, diatom will never form
  9. Lowering no3 and po4 will not effectively inhibit diatom's growth. The only effective method is get rid of silicate in tapwater before using it
  10. Mgcl and cacl will react with carboonate or bicarbonate to form mgco3 and caco3 respectively. This leaves behind cl which will create ionic imbalance. Nacl will form when you add baking powder to react with those cl.
