Evening all,
I currently have an outbreak of long diatom synedra and reading about it a couple of other sites recommend using some form of silicate removing compound in the filter.
Can anyone recommend such a thing? or any other method of overcoming this horrible brown algae?
Will Amanos and ottos eat it?
I understand it will disappear in time once all the silicates in the new substrate have become depleted, but I worry I'll lose a bunch of plants in the meantime.
Many thanks all,
Ben
