Mid blackout and cloudy

[mook1178]

I am in the middle of a 3 day blackout. I have noticed that the tank is a bit cloudy.

Is this normal? I could potentially see the death of the algal cells causing a bacterial bloom. Wondering if it is normal though?

That seems reasonable to me, but let me bump this thread to get some more eyes on your question

What pest are you doing a blackout for?

Dinos mostly hoping it might help with some cyan. On the second day and I can tell most dinos are gone. So I am thinking the cloudiness is bacterial, but haven't necessarily seen it mentioned anywhere. There were a lot of dinos.

It may well be, as things needing light die.
