antwan Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 Hey there, a "bacterial bloom" is an exponential rise in bacterial numbers in your tank. Bacterial blooms usually just go away in a few days to a week. If not, do a few big water changes til it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 The bloom is caused by another factor which neds to be remedied or it will return. It is usually overfeeding and the uneaten (by the fish) food is providing food for the bacteria who have said thanks and done the multiplying thing. Water changes will remove the excess food and less feeding should cure the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
