About two months. At first it was 100% diatoms but then it turned to that.

I am unsure how to explain it. It's like a brown "algae" that new tanks get.

On my old tank, my diatoms never, ever, went away. It was such a ***************. At least on here they turned green.

Recent pic of my largest Acei. Still trying to figure out what the black markings on him are. They are on another Acei as well.

I had similar marks on my estherae when I had them. I hear it's a combination of bad genetics and too much spirulina in their diet.

Did it go away when you stopped feeding them Spirulina so much, and did they have any other health problems?
