I see this/read this/ hear this used often.
What is a bacteria bloom?
Is it when your filter is not sufficient for the size fish load or it's wastes?Thus the excess ammonia or/and nitrItes cause a haze in the water?
Is it excess nutrients in the water? Such as from nitrAtes or fertilizers.
Is it the sight planted tank may see just before(or after) the great algae bloom hits their tank?
Is it ammonia clouding the water such as when the tank is cycling? If so...what exactly is forming the haze, free floating nitrifying bacteria?
I read "its just a bacteria bloom no problem it will pass"<--good.
I read "do a water change now."<---uh oh..must be bad
"It must be a bacteria bloom" <--- well what the harry is it?
It is used in both good and bad.....lets clear it up or agree what exactly it is and why it isn't bad or good.
