On the other thread I was explaining what happened. Well long story short, a kid dropped a whole container of flakes into my tank. I did about 30% (I was wrong, I thought it was 40%) water change, tried to syphon most of the flakes out, change the filter pad (after 4 months), and put in phos-absorb.
A few hours after I cleaned everything up I came home and found algae blooming in my tank. As soon as the light is off, the tank turns milky, bacterial bloom.
I am just worried sick right now. I know there's nothing much I can do right now, other than not feeding those bacterias with more food, and let time heals my tank.
I am just worried that my fishes and corals won't be able to survive this. The recommendation for algae bloom is to make sure the tank has enough air/ O2, if I'm not mistaken, or basically keep the water moving. So with the current power head and filter I already added the little pump that connects to a little blue sponge that makes air bubbles. I put that in for the aeration (sp?).
Now this bacterial bloom, there's nothing I can do. Anyone can help? I don't know whether my snails will survive this or not. My fishes were fine, and so is my shrimp. Corals... not looking so good. Help!!!
