Has anyone experienced the diatoms turning yellow during cycling process? Partially cured live rock was added with marine land m2 media with a dose of live bacteria. It’s been a week and just last night my brown diatoms turned yellow. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190404/98de60f617a15720bcbf9e37cde07ae6.jpg

Not diatoms.. Likely the start of green film/hair algae
