Hi,
so, I did my regular 25% water change on Sunday. I had quite a bit of brown algae on the tank walls that I cleaned off (and some what I think sheets of cyano on the sand). Since then my water seems cloudy. It's hard to tell on the picture as it's not THAT bad compared to other pictures I saw here in the forums, but it's most noticeably towards the top and I do see tons of particles in the water column. I did get brown "dust" on the sand which I assumed was matter that sank down after cleaning the dank walls?
Algae/diatoom bloom?
Bacterial bloom?
Leave it be or treat it? If treat, how?
Tank is 3 months old, now, 2 months fish in.
I start getting purple coraline algae. I also have a tiny bit of green hair algae - so I assumed my cycle was complete. According to parameters, it was. I thought diatom bloom is part of the cycle, but I just read somewhere that it comes after the cycle?
