golden haze

[varpanus]

there's this golden algae growing all over everything in my tank(walls,powerhead,rocks). what is it? is it bad for the tank?

Diatoms. Like acne on a teenager. Has to run it's coarse. WC will help. It will die out on its own. Normal phase of a tank.

just dont use clearsil, it wont work at all.
That proactive stuff jessica simpson use, nope, it wont work either. LOL
Like Brenden said diatoms its normal. It will just go away. If it makes big mats you can shiphon it out to make it even quicker.

I agree...Let it ride man. We all go through diatoms while cycling and even an outbreak in between
