Recently I changed my substrate drone crushed coral mixed with caribasea Hawaiian black to Fiji pink. My water parameters was always good with weekly water changes however too much detritus in the horrible substrate I picked so I decided to switch it out. I did it by 1/3s over a five day period. It’s a 60 gal 4’ acrylic tank. Running a skimmer 24/7 now a UV 24/7.
everything was great water cleared up quickly but now a week and a half later I’m dealing with green film algea that’s covering the glass everytime I look away. I do have a RBT that still seems thriving. Didn’t loose color and is open. Mushrooms seem good. I do have GSP that refuse to come out cause my valentini keeps picking at it. If anyone wants a free valentini.
do you guys think this is just a bacteria bloom from the substrate change. Breaking in the new sand?
