      algae problem

      I can't seem to get rid of this damn algae. Wondsring if its diatom or something more serious like cyano. It produces bubbles under lights. Under dark there is nothing.

      How long has your tank been up for? That totally looks diatoms! Nothing to worry it's part of young system. It takes time until it's fully established

      Yes that sound about right diatoms! Still young system going through that algae cycles. That's normal. Nothing to worry about. Just keep up your water changes you'll be fine
