Today the 225 micron mesh filter sock clogged up with a brown slimy material, I removed the filter sock and replaced it with a 225 micron felt sock, at the same time I turned back on the Skimer. Within 1 hour the tank was almost completly clear and while the Skimmer was still over producing it was noticeably slower, additionally I cleaned the inside of thr galss and back wall of most of the slime (I will finish this tomorrow). Within 1-1/2 hours the felt scok was completly plugged and I replaced it with the now clean mesh sock.
I have been draining the Skimmer collection cup into a bucket for the past few hours and I will do so for the next several hours, once the felt sock is out of the washing maching I will replace the mesh with it and see how long it lasts tonight.
System parameters are:
Ammonia .5 ppm
Nitrite 5.0 ppm
Nitraite 30 ppm
Specific Gravity 1.024
Temp 77.6F
ph 7.8
Encourging results.
Yep. It happened to me. It will go away, I promise!8:55am CST. Grrrr....... Friday I performed a little cleaning before purchasing the first swimmer. I found a lot of the Yellowish slime in the overlow and in the sump, so much so that my 225 micron felt sock plugged within an hour.
Then the tank became cloudy again, not pea soup but hazy.
I am going to perform a 5 gallon water change shortly and see what happens.
Any ideas? I have never had something like this happen before?
Yep, I went through a couple of them also. It gets better. You'll deal with much harder problems in the future, like green hair algae. (I'm kidding of course, it's actually rather easy to deal with.)Thank you, this is the second bacterial bloom.
Well I made a mess of things this afternoon. I completly cleaned and scrubbed the Tank, Sump, Skimmer , Return Pump and well everything. I placed a 200 micron sock over the outflow into the tank to catch all of the muck, which worked out very well and while the tank is sstill lightly cloudy still I feel that when this bacterial bloom subsides I will be ready for my first swimmer.
Tomorrow I will perform a 5 gallon water change.
Yes just let it run it’s courseNo livestock in the tank yet.
System parameters are:
Ammonia .0.0 ppm
Nitrite 0.0 ppm
Nitraite 0 ppm
Phosphate 0

Maybe the best option is to wait a few days and see of the bacterial bloom subsides?
