Bacterial bloom not leaving... Help

Its been running for about 6 weeks and the last couple days its just been getting cloudyer and cloudyer!

Algea is starting to grow on rocks amd glass if that means anything.

Should i get a hob filter and run a carbon pad for a couple days?

 

How about a little backround on the tank and what have you done to it??Equipment??Could be a bacteria bloom.

 

What types of filtration and flow are in there now?

Have you tested any parameters?

The tank is young, are those hermits or snails in there I see? Have you been feeding them food?

You are aware of differnet types of algae blooms that can happen on newer tanks? Cyano outbreaks?

 

I agree with Vinny (dang it).

Looks bacterial, increase surface agitation, run some carbon. Do not feed the tank at all.

Does the tank smell?

 

Its 1.5 months old. I havent tested anything but just cycle stuff. Its taken a long time to cycle. I just have liverock and a circ pump in there for now. Its 15 gallons and has a clean up crew from reefcleaners and some hermits.

 

Dont notice a smell! Ill go smell it!! And ill get s hob filter tomorrow and run carbon.... Im not feeding at all no.

 

;d;d

 

No smell... This tank has been nothing but problems for me so far... Very discuraging...

 

It might be amonia, did you add anything to produce it ?

 

No livestock? Do a ten gallon water change. The cuc should be able to handle any swing in parameters.

Are you mixing your own salt water? Ro/di? Lighting schedule? What basic cycle test have you ran? What are they?
