I was getting algae (may have been diatom - same color) on tank walls so I decided to do some housekeeping. I did a 20% water change and siphoned gravel/sand bed. I then did the same for the sump except it was 90% change. The sump produced very dirty water.
Everything seems healthy but I have high nitrates.
I'm collecting water for another change and have a skimmer on the way. Any other suggestions? If I have high nitrates doesn't that rule out diatom?
thanks in advance
