I just want to know how to get rid of it because when i start my new 130g planted I dont want all the plants geting coverd in it! like what has happened to the 10g.

it happens to most new tanks..its an eye sore but not harmful...it does go away after awile on their own ...you can try otto's...mine didnt like it so I got the corys..

TRue!

But I would like otos for when i get the tank anyway

so it can go away itself? thats good thanks

I dont actualy mind what it looks like, it looks quite cool making the plants more wild looking if you know what i mean. lol

My otos were diatom eating machines, it was nonstop feeding-time for them.
