I was thinking about that but i am not shure how to do it because i am not going to have that much room only about 6 inches on either end and about 5-6 in the front. we made the stand taller but is it tall enough.

Try shading the birdsnest for a day or 2.That might help.

Diatoms aren't as light dependent as other algaes, so I don't think it'd matter that much. You can't really "make" diatoms go away. They come and go on their own and there's not much you can do about it.

almost all of it was free so i could not pass on it. my father in law sold his house and gave me most of the rock that would not fit in his new biocube
