This morning I noticed that all the water and a smaller 13.5 I keep at a very notable green tint to it. This essentially happened overnight. I don't keep livestock in the tank, mainly macro algae that I harvest, and a couple of days ago I had pulled the decent size load from one of my reactors...
Hello to all and Happy Holidays!
Currently having an issue with a clear film over most of the LR (can't tell if it's bacterial or an algae) and a small Cyano bloom. Tested water and got some conflicting results. What should I do?

I have an AIO mixed reef with fish by Waterbox. 50.3g.
I turned the filter off last night at about 8:00 p.m. to feed and dose phyto.
...woke up this morning to a cloudy tank... Only then to realize that the filter had been left off all night! 12+ hours.
Somehow temperature is still reading 78...
Must have had something die under the rockwork but came home to cloudy water. Fish are gasping so I assume I have high ammonia but don't have a test for it anymore and all the stores are closed. I read a few articles that recommended only treating the ammonia spike and making sure the water...
First post here, wasnt hoping to run into issues this early and need feedback.... So I started up a IM 20g 2 months ago. Did a fishless cycle with bottled ammonia. Waited a month, put in a six line wrasse and a few softies and LPS and has now been another month with them all doing pretty well...
All fish QTed in copper prior to adding to tank.
All corals stable prior to incident.
Water stable with Po4 under .1, No3 around 15, alk between 8.2-8.4, calcium around 440,

I have a 75g aquarium been running for a couple of months now, I cycled the tank with the microbacter starter kit and it went well. The starter kit also came with a bottle of microbacter clean, to use over the next few months to battle through the ugly phase. The ugly phase has begun and hasn't...

Hello Everyone, After cleaning Canister filter with Saltwater, I see white dust is coming from canister filter. Every minute and its making my Aquarium look cloudy.
I'm just worried about my fish, Did live bacteria died or something bad happened?
:(
Currently combining my current tank and another tank into a third, new tank
Mixed the water in the tank, woke up this morning to the water being cloudy
Is this a bacterial bloom? What should I do about it, and would it be safe to add fish and coral later today? I would be doing a fifty percent...
Hello, I'm New into Saltwater Tanks (well, aquariums in general) So, My First Saltwater Aquarium, I've Used the Aquaforest Sea Salt for my 96 Liters Tank and After applying Bio S (The Bacterias)
I would say maybe 15 minutes or so, the tank got all cloudy and full of Microbubbles on the surface...
I've been trying to resolve slightly cloudy water for a few weeks. This is a new build, running for only 9 weeks. 210 total gallons. No corals yet. Started with dry rock (CaribSea) wet sand (CaribSea) and Fritz Turbo Start. Inhabitants: 1 One-Spot Foxface, 3 Fijian Anthias, approximately 24...
This bacteria or algae is taking over my tank and making my leather corals shrink. Please help me fix this? Phosphate are zero, ammonia is zero, nitrite is zero, nitrate is zero, alkalinity, calcium, and magnesium all in range. Don’t know what else to do. I have done water changes, changed...
New to reefing—I bought used reef tank with livestock. I’ve had if for about 3 weeks and have a question on this brown algae. When we moved the tank it had a phos spike to 0.4, and started getting brown algae. I got a phos reactor with GFO running and have since brought the levels down from...
I thought I’d ID’ed this stuff as Licmophora sp. but now that I’ve let it grow out, I’m not so sure. It’s a brown-ish white looking feather protruding from the live rock in mostly high light intensity areas and emerging from what looks like existing algae.
Salinity: 1.025
Temp: 78.6
Ammonia: 0...

I just restarted a tank and the cycle is finished but got a heavy bacterial bloom. I slowly dissipates at night but comes back in the day with the lights on.
If I leave the lights off, how many days will I generally need to do it to get rid of it, or is it just something that I have to let run...

Hi all. My IM Nuvo Fusion 20 gallon mixed reef has been up and running since its cycle completed in mid-October (~2 months). I have a pair of ocellaris clownfish and a handful of mostly LPS corals. All seem to be doing well. I also have 5 cerith snails which will come into play later.
About...
as the title says I need some reassurance I’m doing the right thing. 65 gal system about 3 months old. No fish and a hand full of snails. The only 2 corals I have is a frag of gsp which is doing great and a green mushroom. I just switch to Radion XR30 g4 pro and am running the color pop program...
