Overloaded, over fed? Either of these plus
Thank you Rivercats. I too have 30 years experience and also qualifications in aquatic and fishery management.
I actually said 'massive cleaning' referring to the cleaning of filters removal of detritis etc. I am well aware of how BB live and work and of the metaolites excreted by fish. I am also aware that these metabolites are also broken down by numerous species of bacteria within an aquatic environment - protein skimmers help remove them too. I don't think I said that water changes remove nitrifying bacteria did I?
I was replying to wildroseofky - should have added quotes
