SO after crash to extreme diatom disaster... I may toss in the towel. I have other priorities that this is beginning to take cash away from.
The diatoms... I will try the ph route before tossing the towel, but if it fails. Shut down.
Might just go freshwater with it. Try a planted tank. It will cost me a hell of a lot less and my little girl won't know the difference.
And I will keep my clown tank running. Might give me time to get these moving.
So, yup. I give my tank 30 days.
