Hi,
So glad you all are here. I am a new aquarium owner with a 55 gallon Marineland LED Aquarium kit. Loving and learning my new hobby. The new tank has been up and running for about 2 months. Added TetraSafe start on week 2.
Current friends include 6 Danios, 1 platy, 1 dalmation molly, 1 sunburst play, 1 snail, 1 tiger barb, 1 Oto cat and 1 other cat.
In the past week I have experienced a bloom of the brown algae, over the past few days the water has become very cloudy. I have changed both of my filter pads and have been keeping up with 20% water changes weekly. My PH is a consistant 8.2 and all other levels (ammonia, nitrite, nitrate) are 0. Water temp is 75-78.
Any thoughts or suggestions? Could it the bacteria bloom be the end of the cycling?
Thanks so much for your help!
