Hi everyone! I have a question. I have a Diatom Bloom in one of my baby tanks. I change the water everyday (about 25-33%) and now have started to make 80% water changes. This thing isn't going away. I know a micron-filter will get rid of this - that is what I have used in the past. But my babies (rams) are only about 3 days old - very tiny - and to make matters worse, I am going on vacation tomorrow evening. I bought a small micron-filter but it doesn't fit on the tank (70 gallon split 3 ways). I could get creative, but I'm looking for a simpler solution. Does anyone have any suggestions? Is a Diatom bloom dangerous? I didn't think so, but .... The problem is me being gone for 4 days. I have a house sitter, but last time he watched my house I lost all my babies (across the house) except one soul survivor. Okay - I had more than one question - what kind of bubble filters would be recommended? I use two different kinds, but I'm curious to see what everyone else uses.
