Bacterial Bloom in new tank set up!!! part 1

- Learning as I got. Just set thus 55 gallon tank up, within hours the cloud started.
Over Cleaning a tank or new tank setups can go through bacterial blooms such as this. It just takes time for them to cycle and clear up. I'm waiting to see for myself and will post a second video on how long it took and if there was any special things I needed to do to help it go away. For now a test of my patience because I want to automatically go for chemical treatment and a quick fix. Not this time....
Prime and stability. Works wonders.👍
I would get a wave maker and a sponge filter that makes bubbles along with your hang on back filter! That helped me sooo much and using stability and prime during every water change
I run 2, 500 aqua filter. One with just poly fill. 2 wave makers on a 90 gallon tank!🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
I have a 407, wave maker and sponge filter with airstone. To combat this, my question is, if we have to leave it alone and let the tank do it’s thing. What do we do when we have a lot of evaporation happening?
Mine lasted me about a week and a half . Before I learned about seachem stability it helped me out a lot . Also if you add after any water change or heavy cleaning of the tank it adds more beneficial bacteria to help the tank balance out .
Just got a tank and lady told me to get stability. Started looking better in 2 days
I use it with every water change and filter cleaning....
Just had this with my 75 also. Watch your filters! Mine got plugged up in 6 hours and had to clean them out to keep it from over flowing. But yeah it cleaned up in about 3 days for mine. If you have the replaceable filters, I'd toss them and put some filter sponge in it. I got about 7 times more the surface area than the original filters and my tank has been spotless since. And don't forget happy fishies!
Seachem prime, stability & pristine is all
You need. Plus a sponge filter or two.
Two words. Seachem Prime.
Merchants are happy with you. Soil, sand, plants, nitrogen cycle. Wait for a month minimum
Put some live plants in your tank and real sand substrate….add some organic rock material and driftwood!
Time was the cure.
I used Accu-Clear on my tank. It cleared out in hours.
I've a tetra 59 litre tank in kitchen.had a corner unit 195 fluval setup in the last house and a biorb life with no cloudy water issues,but since moving house,and new tetra tank in kitchen,have had constant cloudy water, have replaced everything,now on 3rd fluval filter,(2) bought an air stone,removed most of the substrate,changed the artificial plants, there's nothing else we could do to try to stop the cloudy water,I bought seachem prime,....no change.anyone got any suggestions please ? Wev only got 2 honey gourami,and 7 harlequin rasbora fish,so not overstocked.any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
You should get a air stone it helps tremendously providing the oxygen to the tank
That’s the worst part of a bacterial bloom. It completely depletes the water of oxygen.
Before you add any new chemicals to a tank it's important to taste test them first. It's alot cheaper to get sick than it is to replace a bunch of fish
Lmfao
not in America
A wave maker would be great there near the surface doing way way more water agitation and with that oxygen for them
Use imagitarium water clarifier it works great in about 3 hours depending on size tank though
You did major changes to that tank. Happened to me once in one of my salt water tanks when y purchased a new canister filter for it. It will clear on its own. Just check the Ammonia levels periodically just in case.
Patience works best. Mostly it disappears in four days. It’s best to drop some substrate from your previous tank in to promote bacterial growth.
Sponge filter and some live plants always help
No plants? 😮Are you planning to add some stones, woods or plants for the fish to hide?
Wave maker to break the tension on the surface would add lots of oxygen for your fish
this needs a good filtration system and beneficial bacterias.
I dont have it anymore. That's was years ago. It turned out beutuful though and I enjoyed it while I had it
what a horror this aquarium. An albino fish and blue gravel. American oil and plastic. Nitrogen cycle lasts for over a month.. get plant, soil, and sand.
Oscar's need atleast 100 gallon
you have the same rocks as mine
I thought mine was foggy becuz it was "new". But now I knew, I just over scrubbed it with cleaner soap and now its in its sixth day of bacterial bloom. I changed the water on the fourth day though coz it was too foggy and dim. Now its like on a camera filter becuz of the thin fogginess.
It was supposed to be an airpump based aquarium but I had to use a filter for 24 hours to clean the fogginess off. And when I went to use the airpump again, I forgot to clean it and so I'll just make time do its course coz I can't deal with my idiot self for moment
Get yo fishTankk and fx4 canister filter.
wtf... where are your plants and definitely there is root missing for the pleco... That is ridiculous. that poor thing
Gotta love new tank syndrome!
give the pleco some shade!
Old video, I m iced and sold the tank. But once it acclimated I had no issues
🤔
Poor fish 😢 Lifeless, plantless box with water
Shanae Christian ''Cool video luv Thanks for sharing this issue I just had this bacterial bloom problem but it looks like its clearing up so I Just hope it gets a bit clearer soon before I add my fish to it because I want to be able to see them haha ✌🥳💕🤗💖🤭🐟🐟🐟😳😱🥳😻🐠🐡🐙🦀🐚. 9 sub 3 like.
gravel 🙈🙈
His plan is to kill this fish
Well thats a shity tank you should of get a better substrate and don’t get a fish yet
It was in a bacterial bloom
@@DragonflyBungeeFitness yur ok just get the canister fX4 filter nd it will always be clear yu gotta add the chemiblue
@@DragonflyBungeeFitness doesnt change the fact that the tank sucks
That was years ago now
@@DragonflyBungeeFitness o
Honestly I would have waited the 40 to 6 week mark. In my 13+ years trying to rush or setup fast never looks good.
