Why am I still getting diatoms?
My tank is 5 weeks old, fully cycled at two. For the past two weeks I keep getting diatoms all over my sand bed and rocks. My tank is cycled and my water is perfect! How can I get rid of these? I have a CUC and they dont seem to do anything but scavenge for food when I feed my fish. Help!

5 weeks is still pretty new. Have patience and maintain good water parameters.

Normal & will die out on their own.
