Week 3 of my cycle >>>

2 weeks with pure Marco Rocks and the rotting shrimp
After Ammonia came down to around 1ppm >>>

After 2 weeks >>> Added 3 smaller LR's that I cleaned with CoralRx, toothbrush, etc.

Now I've got diatoms come in well, but only on the LR pieces. I would almost expect the opposite (Marco to get the Diatoms).

Still around .75ppm ...

Any thoughts on the LR only Diatoms?

They can show up on anything live or not.
