Bacterial bloom not leaving... Help

It's still a new tank. We've all been there. Don't get discouraged (I know easy to say) if you can test and post your parameters so we can see what your working with. What did you do to get your tank to start cycling. Is there anything in there that may still be decomposing? Have you done any water changes?

 

The basic cycle tests just read
Amonia less than .25 ppm
Nitrites 0
Nitrates 40
I buy the water pre mixed and use it in all my tanks and top off with the same ro i have a 12ish hour lighting schedual

Amonia was high at like .5 last week

 

I also did a 25% water change last week. Ill get my water tested by my lfs tomorrow also to get 2nd test results from someone else

 

I hope whatever it is works itself out!

 

Its cleared up nice! Took about 2 days but looks great!

Thanks for all the help!

Going to the lfs to get a water test today!

 

Ok this previous picture lasted about 2 days. Now im all clouded up and out of ideas...

Amonia nitrites are all at 0
Ph is spot on.
Nitrates are maybe at 20 ppm if that.

Ive been running carbon in a hang on back for weeks. Not doin anything now the tanks cloudy again.

Any ideas to get this gone???

Im blackin it out now just to see if that will help at all...

Starting to loose hope! I just want to get coral in it and fish...

 

Bump

 

I always used a nitrifing bacteria for my cycle, never had a bloom. Increase circulation in the tank as well. Is the live rock cured? Did you use live sand?

 

I would definitely cut your light cycle probably in half, and a couple day black out wouldn't hurt. Adding some bacteria dosing may help. Microbacter 7 is what I used, but to increase my diversity, work on nitrates and once I started dosing, the water clarity was amazing...

 

Ok ill keep up the water changes and black out. I started with dry rock but got bagged live sand.
