Diatoms will disappear easily as the microorganisms become
established. Your glass is a clean slate, so it will get
covered in diatoms easily, and can be easily cleaned off.
Diatoms when looked at with light reflecting off of it
look golden brown, but when looked at it with light
shining through it, look green.
