Hey guys first time posting in here hopefully I can get some answers as I can’t get any in my usual Facebook groups. So basically I started noticing this white “film” all over the substrate one day, I didn’t know what it was but didn’t look like it could be beneficial so I then syphoned all the gravel and it was gone. Next day I wake up take a look at the tank and it is so cloudy I can’t even see a couple inches into the tank. I then did a 50% water change. That cleared it slightly still very cloudy. All the fish and coral seemed completely unbothered. Next I noticed there was what looked look hair algea covering all the rocks except it was white/transparent. I proceeded to try to blows as much as I could off the rocks and let the sock pick it up. Iv done quite a bit of research and I pretty positive it’s this white slime bacterial bloom I see other people have had and that makes sense because in most other people problems with this they state that they were dosing some king of carbon source, as was I and I know I was definitely overdosing for a little while because for the longest time iv had high po4(about 3.00ppm) normal dosing wasn’t doing anything since I started overdoing the nopox a little iv got it down to .23ppm(lowest it’s been) obviously I didn’t take how strong nopox was seriously because I had been dosing more then advised for a while with no problems and was lowering the po4 like I wanted. And then this white slime started and I now realize. From what I read is it’s a nutrient deficiency although po4 is still .23? But my no3 is undetectable as it has always been so that part makes sense. My question is what do u recommend to clear this up? Iv been told I need to get nutrients back in the water and I could turn off the skimmer and feed a little more.... Still no change a week later but corals still look fine as do fish.
