Hi all, tank is still very new....approx 2 months. I had the brown diatom bloom, then introduced a cuc and they did a great job at tackling it. About a week ago I started getting a very fine, bright green algae on the glass and rocks. From the research I did I figured it was just part of being a 'new tank' and would go away eventually. I diligently kept the glass clean and although the green algae is still on the rocks it did stop appearing on the glass. That was about 3 days ago...and ever since then I have very cloudy water. Is this a bacteria bloom?
I am changing out the filter floss every few days because it is looking 'icky'. I ordered a new Chemi pure elite and will be here today and plan to change that out also since it has been about 4-5 weeks since adding it.
Any other things I can try? Is this all normal? Any advice and comments would be very helpful..thanks so much.
Also, I checked my parameters this morning:
Ammonia: 0
Nitrite: 0
Nitrate : 10 (can never seem to get below 10)
Temp: 78
