I've been dealing with bacterial blooms in this left tank for literally months.
I never wanted to do a blackout, but it went away on it's own twice for about a week.
I tried a power head with a polish filters once and it cleared in a day for about two weeks, and I was like hell yeah
It's come back again, had the powerhead running for a couple days and no change.
The powerhead is immensely oversized for the 10G, but the guppies seem to enjoy it.I now have a bloom in this other tank next to it for the first time, which is infuriating. This tank just has some snails and plants, it's seasoning for shrimp I want to breed.
I've never had this happen in my 75G or 20G.I just tested and found KH absent in the guppy tank, which is unusual for my hard water ~200-300 gpg.I usually don't do water changes on the tank because I read that gives the bacteria more food, but I'm doing a 50% now to top off the KH.Just a reoccuring annoyance, I'd be grateful for any insight.
