Diatoms are a naturally occurring 1st step of life bacteria in the initial cycling process - aka new tank syndrome. Also they are non-photosynthetic - they can grow in an non lighted system. - Congrats!

LOL saltwater starts from fresh you have to mix it. So are you using RO water or tap? But with that comment I'm assuming from the petstore?
