    Just curious. I am over a month into my cycle and the diatom bloom is showing. it has been for about over a week now. I added my cuc from Reef Cleaners. Will it be fine if I scrub the overflows and back glass. By wiping it down will it spread throughout my tank? Or should I just leave it alone and let my crew do the cleaning.

    P.S. I have a magnet scraper i use on the three sides everyday.

    I would just leave it, let the cuc do their thing. The diatoms are going to go away by itself soon anyways once the nutrients are all used up.
