Pet Forum / Aquaria / Marine Reef / May 2007Diatoms (Not!)
I tested for silicates last night and nothing, nada, zip. I'm starting to wonder if it's just coraline algae trying to grow on the glass. I really have to work to get some of it off. --Kurt Yea, diatoms rub off easily. If it does not easily rub off with a finger, it's not diatoms.

I like it but when it's on the front glass, it can be a pain. I find myself using a blade on the front glass once every other month or so.
