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.

After completing a water change the tank had become more cloudy than before, is there anything that might help with the cloudiness (it’s not the glass it had just been cleaned)first photo is after and second is before

I made a post a couple days ago about my tank that’s clear one week and foggy the next the tank has nothing in it and I was wondering if I should take media I have from a tank I already had running and put it into the foggy tank.

Does anyone one why my reef tank gets clear then foggy like every other week I took all the corals and fish out and moved them to another tank because they were dying but I’m confused because it’s clear one day and really foggy the next day.
