Cyano bacteria. Increase water flow towards, NOT at the gravel bed. Reduce white liht intensity a little and siphon up. If it persists, Chemi clean will get rid of this safelyOkay a little update....got all of my RO and ATO system in place with a definite 0 ppm water.
Here are current values that I just took an hour ago:
Ammonia - 0
Nitrate - 0 to 5 API test kit but it's very yellow on the chart
Alkalinity - 7.324 dkh
Salinity - 1.025
Phosphate - 0.02
Co2 - 10 ppm
PH - 7.8
So with all of that said i did notice that after the "crash", I started to get what I believe is cyano. Is there any kind of algae bloom that could've occurred in between the diatom and cyano stages that sucked oxygen out of the water? I didnt see any difference in the water visually when I got home from work that day and I cant say that my wife was paying attention to anything other than the fish.
I have some of the Microbacter Clean ordered to help with the cyano as it is out of control. Within two days of siphoning a bunch out, it's back in full force.
As always, any thoughts on this is appreciated.
This is after 3 to 4 days....very heavy
