Brown Algae advice needed!!!

[dw1305]

Hi all,

Would you advice to spread the dosing to daily or all in one go?
To me I think it should be daily so the plants feed regularly

Daily would be best, this is why people <"build dosators etc">. I wouldn't be too bothered about it if you are short of time? Weekly is still going to work.

Times not an issue really, I mean I’m home from work same time every day all week so it won’t be a problem.
I’ll start tonight then, I’m feeling quite optimistic now with the help I’ve received on here which is great as I was starting to feel slightly disheartened about this ‘issue’
Once I’m on top of things and it starts to balance out will the diatoms slowly disappear or do they need to be manually removed?
Thanks, James

Normally they decline of their own accord.

The only Diatom have ever re-appear in an established tank is the filamentous Synedra/Fragilaria type (from <"What is this?">)
