they sound to me like pods i got loads of them when my tank finished cycling.
so when your stats are fine their will be loads then i got my clowns and they ate like all of them.

 

[Harry1996]

Diatoms are part of a normal new tank cycle

Keep the faith, test results are fine

Covered RO Water should last a while, although it's better if it has a tight lid instead of a towel.

 

[Harry1996]

[Harry1996]

Hhhmmmm indeed, take some water down to your lfs and ask them for a second opinion - are your test kits new, sorry I cant remember?

[seffieuk]

Well, I would have expected something to shift, I'm not keen on the tropic marine tests, go get that second opinion and lets see Would be a good test of the kits as well, it isn't a problem if the results are as they are, the salty world is never really as predictable as we would like!

[Harry1996]

you can buy this chemical stuff and inject it with it and it will die. or buy a peppermint shrimp later on. but my shrimp dosnt touch them. so it may not work.

 

[seffieuk]

You could try aptaisia x some people have had success with it or try and find one of the giant peppermints, people seem to be having a bit more luck with them and they are more easily available now - your lfs should be able to order you one in if they havent got any

[seffieuk]

Yes, indeed, you cant add the shrimp yet they are not hardy inverts
