I’m running a small 5g invert QT tank and for a couple weeks now have been having constant bacterial blooms so severe I can’t even see halfway through the depth of the tank, which doesn’t seem to be doing the crabs any favors.
I’ve been doing 90% water changes to clear it, but keeps coming back regardless of whether I add any nutrients to the tank.
Any ideas on cause or cure for this?
Photo just after water change, everything now covered in stringy bacterial mess…. Including the crabs and snails. About the only things that seem unaffected are a thriving amphipod population.
