Have a 2 month old 10 gallon, fully cycled using established tank water, sand and LR.
Having a bit of diatoms show up, brown stuff on sand, and on a few rocks, how long will it stay for.
Is it do to my tank being somewhat new?
Tank Specs

100w Heater
AC 70 Modded Fuge
Maxi Jet 600
15lbs LS
25lbs LR
Nitrates 0ppm
NitrItes 0ppm
Ammonia 0ppm
pH 8.2
Not currently testing for calcium/alk- must be high, have crazy coraline growth

I will be testing for ca/alk, when i get some corals, performing weekly 20% water changes, and using Reef Crystals and RO/DI bottled water
Stock is 4 turbos and 1 False Perc
