Hello folks.. My 25g AIO is on the newer side relatively, but has been mostly stable after an initial cycle. I woke up today and overnight, my tank has exploded with white/clear strands, everywhere and on everything. At first I was worried it was something invasive, looking like individual worm strands or something.. but on further inspection none seem to retract, they clump up and blow off fairly easily, and I haven't noticed any critter tubes at the base. Its also incredible how much popped up in 8 hours..
Does this look like a somewhat typical bacterial bloom? I had a few algae blooms on initial cycle but this is new.. I may have caused it myself, the only things I recently changed are:
-Added a media caddy so moved my existing GFO and Carbon pouches to it.. are these overkill perhaps and causing issue? (Phos ~.05-.1 ppm, NItrate ~2 ppm last check)
-Added frozen phyto to food regimen
-Had one of my unstable rocks out of the water for about 10min to add a support
Thoughts?
