Hey guys, im a month in with my first nano (80l) and hitting a bit of trouble which id love some advice on.
Currently no fish, but added 4 trochus snails 10 days ago to start getting some life in there once cycle was complete.
My LFS recommended adding 2 bags of copepods and 2ml of phytoplankton once a week whilst we don't have fish to (i think) speed up algae growth.
For the last 5/6 days the water has looked a bit cloudy and nitrates have dropped from 18 to around 2 or 3. Chat GPT is saying it could be a bacterial bloom.

Got the bacteria bloom taken care of!! 😮💨 added a air stone for 2 days and cleared right up! Now just hopping my hammers dont die, everything else's looks good tho!
Can't figure out why my water is soo cloudy! It doesn't clear up after a water change also. Any advice?
Nervous first time my tanks ever been cloudy like this after a water change
Been dealing with Cyano since February. I’ve had Chemiclean to use but have been exhausting all other natural methods before I use it. I must say, I’m really impressed with Tropic Marin Cyo Control. I completed the final dose today (which is why the water is a little cloudy temporarily) and it has reduced the Cyano by 75% so far. Paired with some maintenance changes, removing the Cyano before each of the 3 doses, it’s really impressive how things are clearing up. Even the back wall almost completely cleared up after the first dose. 💪🏻💪🏻

HELP-TANK IN CRISIS
I came back from holiday today only to be greeted with algea, murky water and retracted corals, help please, tests on their way soon
(This was yesterday) slugger the snail died. My tank is a little cloudy very fast (in a day) I think it’s the led light
Tank cleaning day was a success no jumpers lol the second tank just needs to clear up a little I should have waited for a picture of it 😭
Wanted to show the uglies. I feel like every one shows their tanks from the best possible angle after a deep clean, which is totally understandable. This is a 3 and a half month tank after a full week without maintanance. What do you think?
What is this white film?? It was sitting on top of the water. This tank has been cycling for 2 weeks now. Protein skimmer and lights have been off. I used the Only and Only a week ago.
Thinking I have an outbreak of cyano. I have a reddish brown algae covering the sand, and I’m having to scrape the glass multiple times a day and it’s making the water cloudy. Any recommendations? Not sure if this related, but I had bottomed out nitrates few weeks ago. I increased my feedings to twice a day, but this cyano seems to have gotten worse. I’ve been dosing NeoNitro and got my nitrates to 4 so I’m happy with that. Nothing appearing stressed. I’ve stopped dosing coral animos daily, and temporarily stopping feeding the corals incase this is fueled from a nutrient overload. My parameters have been decent other than my low nitrates. I’ve added more snails over the weekend too. Trying to combat this as naturally as possible.
Day #5 updating my favia corals status, water became really clear, and everything is starting to getting stabilize
