Default This is odd...

I ran out of salt a while back, I didn't do a water change for .. ohhhh, let's say 3 months (tsk tsk I know) . I finally got some salt about a month ago, and have been doing 2.5 - 5g water changes on Sunday's. When I first got my salt, you may remember I did a BIG tank cleaning.. tank looked great.. still does, for the most part.

What I am noticing now though, after the frequent water changes is....

I have a potentially bad cyano outbreak on the back tank wall and in the back of the tank on the sand and I am getting diatoms on the sandbed frequently , which is quite the eye sore.

Any ideas as to why I'd be getting MORE algae instead of LESS ? Seems when I wasn't doing water changes, I wasn't going through any of this

Just to note.. I have since added to my clean-up crew... so hopefully when that order arrives I'll notice them make somewhat of a dent. I hope.......
