Diatoms after 2weeks, is this normal?
This is the first time ive set up a tank not using live rock so im just curious. its a 65g with 20l sump. I used about 45# dead rock and seeded it with about 2# live sand from my 30g. My ammonia spiked on fri and is on its way down now just wanting to know if the diatoms this early are normal.

sounds normal to me.Just keep the turkey baster handy along with the mag-float.with all the DR it will probably last a week or so.
