Great video. I love your straight forward delivery of information. It’s a scary thing to put a few new fish into your newly cycled tank snd wake up to milky water. This video give a clear explanation of what’s happening and what to do or not to do about it.

I like how he is able to simplify this. Its such a headache trying to understand what other channels are trying to say. This dude got it. Thank you.

What a great teacher you are. Thank you!

This was perfect. I just had this happen to my 30 gal, and was beyond confused. A few days ago I added a new fish, then did a huge slow water change 3 days later. 2 days after that I got a bloom. This answered my questions for sure

[mrjc]

Wow!! This is exactly what I needed!! Thank you sir!!

[AquaExoticsWildlife]

Love the new video!! even more in depth than the last cloudy water video!!

[beholder]

Very educational and very simple to understand.👍

[FamilySmith]

Thank you for this info! So basically the bloom is happening b/c the ammonia is high enough to support that growth and when the ammonia is reduced, so will the bloom? That's what I'm hearing. And you called it. I did too big of a water change and an aggressive substrate vacuum, probably stirring up a lot of old fish waste (ammonia). This makes sense now. You're a great teacher!

My bacterial bloom problem began with a water change and adding live bacteria when I was done the water change. Since I was not changing anything in the filter I should not have added any extra bacteria to my tank. I finally asked an aquarist about this adding bacteria to the tank that so many say you should do with a water change, and he told me that as long as I am not removing media that contains beneficial bacteria, there is no need to be adding it. He said it is recommended by the manufacturers because they expect you to change out your filter media with every water change. I only clean my filter media in tank water that has been removed, so I ended up creating my own problem. It took me a year to finally get the nitrogen cycle down pat, and then I have dealt with this bacterial bloom problem 2X in two different tanks. I am still amazed I got through the first time without this new found knowledge.

As a beginner this happened to me too, I upgraded my tank into 15 gallons and my tank is cloudy, the other 1 month old tank is crystal clear I did know not know its a bacteria I thougt it was from the sand dust that settle in the bottom. Very imformative.

Seriously....does owning an aquarium drive them to drink? I'm about to start! I discovered this morning that my mystery snail had died and was stuck were I couldn't see him....Ugh!!!! I believe that's why my tank was cloudy again. Did over 50% water change, cleaned out the filter (disgusting) and tank looks great. Thanks for letting me vent. Non-tank owners don't get the frustration. Have a great Weekend!!!

[burthuffman]

Thank you ( I don't know your name) but you helped me fix my fish tanks. I have 2 five gallon tanks for Bettas and I used Prime and Topfin Bacteria Starter and it worked. I ordered some foam for my filters also. Thanks! I will subscribe

How would you clear up a freshwater 10gal that was exposed to dirty ddift wood. The water has a brownish tint to it? Thanks!

Hi I need your help with my African Clawed Frogs in a 10gallon tank. I just have two frogs in there. I finding white fuzzy mold in the tank especially on the decor and the water is cloudy. I did a big water change about 4 days ago and then cleaned the decor with the white fuzzy mold on it but now it is back again. I also used Prime and a algae remover too. What am I doing wrong :( . But I don't have any driftwood in my tank? Thank you Kim
