RyanU Posted May 15, 2021 Author Share Posted May 15, 2021 What causes a bacterial bloom like that all of a sudden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanU Posted May 16, 2021 Author Share Posted May 16, 2021 Another question about the bacterial bloom. If I do a large water change say 75% with a gavel vac will that help remove the bloom or make it worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lefty o Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 just my opinion, but i would rather see multiple 30% water changes spread over many days vs. 1 75% water change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanU Posted May 16, 2021 Author Share Posted May 16, 2021 OK. Some I vacuum the gravel each time or no. Let's say I do 30% today with vacuum do 30% Tuesday with no vacuum. Then 30% with vacuum Thursday and see we're I'm at. Some I add stability with the water Changes as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do I need to do anything specific before and after I use it. Nope. Just use the plain sponge, no chemicals added. The Co-op sells them if you want to get some specially branded for aquarium use, but really they're just the same melamine sponge. https://www.aquariumcoop.com/collections/cleaning-supplies/products/algae-scrubber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
