SRC Member Danieltwx Posted July 10, 2019 SRC Member Share Posted July 10, 2019 Hi guys, i have a fowlr tank, 3ft by 2.5ft by 2.5ft. I have a chaeto refugium in my sump tank and im using white light to grow it. Im currently having issues with diatoms on the glass of the display tank. Have to use my magnet scrubber to remove it everyday, however at some areas especially the edges it is hard to remove. Made a mistake of using tap water with dechlorinator to mix my saltwater as my rodi would take ages to fill the whole tank. Is there any way to have clean glass without diatom in fowlr? Should i dose NoPox to limit phosphate and nitrate? Any advise will be appreciated! Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachman Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Have you checked what's your phosphate and nitrate reading? Always check before dosing anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member FluvalEvo Posted November 21, 2019 SRC Member Share Posted November 21, 2019 Trochus snails worked well for me - got rid of the diatoms on glass, rock and some on the sandbed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
