Decided against Angel

[Seamonkey]

I decided not to get a Dwarf Angel, and instead pick up a very nice Royal Gramma and 7 Yellow Tail Damsels. What a sight to behold. The schooling behaviour, and beautiful blue color of the Damsals are amazing. It really makes the tank look like a reef. On another note it has been a week since swaping over tanks and I now have a golden carpet of diatoms developing on the sand and some of the rock, although this adds color to the tank... I would rather not have it. I was told at fishy store that even thought my smaller tank was 2 years old, the new tank still has to go through this cycle period. They said can take 3 months!! Do any little critters like to eat this stuff.
