Diatoms are essentially the warning flag of problems that are going to arise if something isn't done. If you see diatoms, replace GFO and look at nitrate/phosphate levels and sources. You know the saying, "Fart is [poop]'s warning call."
But if I didnt add the frag tank....I would have no algae to speak of. Hanna didnt register a thing and my NO3 is .2ppm. I run GFO and biopellets....what more can I do besides stop feeding the tank and my corals are all doing so well that I don't think I want to try that. I think I will just wait it out and I have a feeling that everything is going to be fine in the frag tank with-in a month or two.
