Hey! My 32 gallon cube has been cycling for 5 weeks now, and 4/5 weeks it has been cloudy. It appears to be a bacterial bloom....I think. When I first started cycling my ammonia was sky high, as my test was not even in range. But now it is hanging around .50 and hasn’t moved for 2 and 1/2 weeks. If it is a bacterial bloom, what do I do to knock it down? My tank was making green algae, but for the past 2 weeks it hasn’t made anything. The rocks have a mix of green and brown algae on them. But this cloudy water is killing me! Anyone know what I can do? Thanks in advanced

A UV sterilizer will clear it up. IMO, it's always good to use one. I run mine 24x7.
