Myah Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 I have a friend that thinks he has a bacterial bloom in his tank. The water is sort of cloudy is how he described it to me. What should he do? He has Plattys and Mollys which do not look stressed or sick, small internal filter (not sure what type) and his temp is 78o.

blueether Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 78 means nothing to me and I cant be bothered to look it up... But blooms like this normally come from overfeeding I believe, so: cut back on feeding do some water changes, say 15% a day test for ammonia/nitrites/nitrates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subtract 32, multiply by 5 and divide by 9. Or the slow way plug "78f in c" into google. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or the slow way plug "78f in c" into google. Sounds like you can get close enough by subtract 32 and divide by 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
