diatoms...what eats them?
Ive got a huge diatom out break, LFS says that is perfectly fine but looks kinda crappy. Only things in the tank are 40lbs of live rock/base rock, serpant star, red banded coral shrimp, three nassru snails (sp) and three different damsels.....any pointers?

I believe diatoms feed on silicates and will disappear when rhe food supply is gone. In my tank Im guessing it took a couple weeks.
