I am new to tanks. I did it a long time ago and dont remember having this much trouble. I have been cycling a 37 gallon aquarium for 3 weeks. The first week I went into a bacterial bloom and did a water change of about 5 gallons. Then the algae bloom hit and I shut down the lights and only turned them on for 3 hours everyday. I found out the tap water I have is extremely high in PH so I decided to do a half water change and added RO water. The tank still was a bit cloudy but now the algae Bloom is back. All perimeters of the tank are good, even bought the PH down. I am using an Aqua pure 50 filter and I do have aeration in the tank. Please help me figure what is going on.
Thank you.
Thank you.
