Hi guys,
I'm getting water that clouds progressively throughout each day, then clears when the Co2 is off overnight. I'm using an inline diffuser which, through the spray bar, mists the tank with micro bubbles. It is not. however, the micro bubbles which are clouding the water. The particles causing the cloudiness are undetectably microscopic, and gives e water a milky appearance. I've heard this could be a bacterial bloom (the tank has just cycled), but do bacterial blooms have daily fluctuations of this nature? Also, what is considered a normal daily PH fluctuation? With a Kh of 3, I am getting daily fluctuations of around 0.6 (6.3-6.9).
Thank you all kindly in advance
