For the last 3 weeks I have been waiting out what I thought was a bacterial bloom, except bacterial blooms only last around 3 - 4 days.
If it is algae, I thought my 200 micron filter sock would have picked it up. I stopped any further Zeo dosing or adding more rock and I started up a diatom filter today to see how that works out. Over the last couple of weeks the cloudiness hasn't gotten any better and hasn't gotten worse than what it is here. My Tunze 6255's came in so I added those.

My cloudy bacterial problem is just now clearing up. I couldn't see 6 inches into the tank for most of the last 2 months.
I would try one thing, wait a few days/weeks, try another thing, wait a few days/weeks.... What finally worked was changing out all the filters in my RO/DI unit, after I noticed I was having ongoing cyanobacteria problems in my freshwater tank which also gets the RO/DI water. I want the last 2 months of my life back, lol.

Wow that was the RO/DI filters?? An exercise in patience for sure. Good to hear it's clearing up...

It doesn't make any sense to me either Tony, but I was getting huge algae blooms in my freshwater tank the day after a big water change there. I thought that maybe my fertilizer dosing wasn't right or something.
The RO unit was what the two tanks had in common.
