Bacteria Bloom

[charles bentley]

Hi is there any chemical i can get to get ride of the milky cloudiness that i think is bacteria bloom?

 

[lyotim88]

why would you want to add chemicals to the tank, a bacteria bloom is natural

In a marine system, the "bacterial bloom" is more likely calsium or carbonate precipitating out.. What are your Mg, Alk and Ca stats if you have them, and do you have any hard corals ATM? What salt brand and suppliments (as applicable) do you use?

All the best

Agree with rabbut. Rarely a bacterial bloom, more likely calcium carbonate. Solution: extra surface agitation, and aeration.
