Reef cycle fail?! Help!

[Aaron26]

I am cycling a 10 gallon Nano reef and everything seemed to be going fine but I came home today expecting my crystal clear water that I usually have and it was extremely cloudy and I was wondering if this is somthing to worry about or how to fix it, it looks worse irl then in the photos btw

Looks like a bacterial bloom and is part of the cycling process.

So it should go away?

Yep it should after a couple days. I’d check your levels as well. Bacteria blooms usually indicate the cycle is almost over from my experience

Okay thanks I will and finally that cycle took 7 weeks [emoji1319] hopefully tests show you’re right

If it doesn’t clear up, some activated carbon will clear it up.
