How do I clear up a bacterial bloom?
Tank is about 5 months old with some snails and a golden moray ,no coral yet.
Parameters are :
Nitrate 5-10
Nitrite 0
Ammonia 0
PH 7.8-8.3
Had a diatom bloom 2-weeks ago did a 32gal water change (total system is 165gal.)and used a turkey Baseter on all live rock(Tonga branch)No more diatom/algae .Tank has been very cloudy since , looks almost like sand in water however it’s a bare bottom tank .
Filtration consist of :
Skimmer -Reef Octopus 202
3-4x8 Marin pure blocks
ROX 0.8 carbon
20% weekly water changes
( plan on running a chaeto reactor soon)
Anyone know how to fix this ?
