Instead of my suspected bacteria bloom, my LFS suggested an algae bloom and told me to turn off the lighting for several days. I'm a little worried about this because of the coral in this tank. Would appreciate any other advice.

Hi Guys: I woke up this morning to find the water in my little reef cloudy. All tank parameters are normal. Ammonia=0, Nitrite=0, Nitrate < 5, pH=8.1, Alkalinity= 5. The filter pad was somewhat dirty so I rinsed it out and also replaced the carbon. This reef was moved from an Eclipse 6 to the...

I replaced the sponges with Marineland Rite-Size filter pad for mechanical cleaning and I'm getting better flow though the system with the stock pump. I also added Seachem Purigen in addition to the carbon. I'll see how this works for a while.
