Sun777 Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Could a water temp of 83 for 12hrs cause a diatom bloom? I left this morning and everything was fine but when I got home earlier my tank temp had climbed to 83 since my fan stopped working. I tested my Amonia,Ph, Nitrites and Nitrates and everything looks fine Thanks Link to comment
MitchReef Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 It shouldn't...my temps get there just about every day and no diatoms...is it a new tank? Perhaps it was just time for you have diatoms? You do know they are an expected part of a new tank cycle, right? Link to comment
Sun777 Posted December 13, 2008 Author Share Posted December 13, 2008 The tank is about 3months old and has already cycled. It was just strange that it happened the way it did. Could it be that I just put in Chem Pure Elite? Thanks Link to comment
bdare Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 A diatom bloom at 3 months is VERY normal. Link to comment
