Bacterial Bloom And Cloudy Water - The What, Why and How to Fix it (SIMPLE)
Vložit
- čas přidán 24. 08. 2024
- Cloudy fish tank water from a bacterial bloom mostly happens during new tank setups. But a bacterial bloom can also happen in an established tank.
That's where a bloom or bacterial blossom can be very dangerous to your fish if not handled correctly. BUT, don't panic! Excessive water changes trying to clear up that bacterial bloom is only going to make things worse.
Let's discuss what a bacterial bloom is, why it happens and how to fix it!
Bacterial Bloom is not the only cause of cloudy fish tank water though...because there could be so many things causing your tank to get cloudy and stay cloudy the best and most complete advice I can give is in my book. Every cause and solution is there in 1 place. Best 5 bucks you'll ever spend in this hobby! - bit.ly/clearH2O

Dealing with cloudy water issues not related to bacterial bloom? Don't worry, I can help with that too! 😁
Check out my book on getting and keeping crystal clear water, now in eBook and Paperback! - bit.ly/clearH2O
You should get a turtle bro! I don’t even own fish and I’m addicted to your videos so I can only imagine the increase in views when you announce the unboxing of a little hatchling 🐢 I know you got space for one more 40-55 gallon big dog do it for the fans
Why did I get a bacteria bloom or cloudy water from when I did a water change and I literally added stability but that’s the first time I added The product but I’ve used seed before too
My tank is new,1 month old,recently added 4 fish,had 2 to start with
Now my water is cloudy
Changed the water,now it's worse
So you said to leave it ,how long do I leave it for?
I'm feeding less now,once a day to combat this problem
When should I do the next water change?
Please help me somebody
@@ohno316 he said dont do any water changes and to not feed them for a week so you can starve out the bad bacteria. You keep doing water changes and you're reintroducing hard water that spikes bad bacteria. Just leave it alone and cut back on feeding maybe once a week and add some aqueon water conditioner to combat the ammonia
Hi I need help I’m new to this I just got a 6 gallon tank for a betta fish I added tap water with “betta water conditioner” but I don’t have the fish in yet…..now I have cloudy water
• should I leave it alone? If so how long it take to clear up?
• Should I remove the food? I’m sure I added a lot 😬
• should I add beneficial bacteria chemical?
Pls Pls help thanks in advance 🙏🏼
I work at a pet store... I'm just going to start sending people right to your channel when they need help! Incredibly clear explanations and great content
That is the best thing I’ve heard all week! Lol Thank you bro! Appreciate that! 😁
At this point just unsubscribe all these other aqua channels lol this is legit all you need over here 👨🏽🔬👌🏾 good stuff kaveman
Lol 🤣 Thanks bro! Appreciate that!
💯
@@KaveManAquatics You give of good vibes you're pretty upbeat
I agree man!!!!
If you need your info delivered to you at the level of a 4 year old then I guess this is what you need
Just started up my first fresh water tank and the cloud sent me into a full panic! Thanks for the facts, I feel much more confident now KNOWING what's going on in my tank.
My pleasure bro! Glad I could help 😁
What did you do?
how is it now? is it getting clearer?
Same! lol
How long will it take to clear? For example, I set up new tank on 27th July. Water is very very cloudy can barely see the fish, I thought it was the water so I emptied over half and added fresh water and now it's worse than it was. Should I leave it now? And how long will it take to settle/clear? And will it effect my fish? Thank you.
The absolute best, “no fluff”, explanation and advice for Cloudy Water, anywhere on CZcams for sure
Thank you my bro! Always appreciate the love!!
a lot of you were not paying attention to what he was explaining. He said when you have cloudy water water changing makes it worse cause you are feeling it with new nutrient rich water it multiplies.
You are a breath of fresh air, or rather a wave of clear water on CZcams. Knowledgeable, enjoyable to watch, helpful, consice and all without an air of superiority. I don't think I heard you say a single word about what "everyone else does wrong". Thank you.
Thanks for that positive feedback! Glad you're finding the channel helpful! 😊
This is true! I just left my 110 alone for about 4 days and I have undergravel powder heads and a hang on the back sponge filter. Zero carbon btw
How awesome is it that literally last night I typed into CZcams "Kaveman cloudy water", and then this morning I have an email alerting me of this video?! You're the best! It's like you're going through this with me & I appreciate you & your info SO much! Thanks Kev! ❤️
Great minds! 🤣 Glad you're finding the channel helpful!
This has quickly become my favorite channel. I have a lot of experience with large tanks but this is absolutely a must refresher class for the beginner novice and expert fish owner. Thank you so much for sharing your experience knowledge and time.
I recently gave my Daughter an aquarium and it sparked my passion for fish again. I’ve now set up a 75 gallon peacock tank, and learned so much from your videos. So insightful and enjoyable to watch. Thank-you
I jumped to 25 gallons and I’m feeling like a beginner … lol
Had a new tank set up and the cloudy water made me so anxious!! Thank you for this video!!
Glad I could help 😊💪
Ty new fish tank and we are experiencing this. 👍🏽👍🏽
My pleasure! Glad you're finding the channel helpful. 😊

Good timing, I was about the do a more massive water change to clear this out. Newish tank 29 gal tank (2 months or so). I have been battling this for a week. No live plants, found some dead fish, changed filter, cleaning substrate, new air stone, filter creates a nice agitation as well. I will hold off the water change for now. The gravel vacuum and maybe some chems to clean out cloud. The good news is the tank testers show everything within range.
Thank you so much Kaveman! This video just solved my issue. My daughter wanted a beta fish and we got everything we needed and the first fish died. It was the bloom. Other videos said to change the water and start over adding chemicals. Boom, second fish died. I watch this video and left the water for a week until it cleared up and now the 3rd fish is doing great. You the man, and earned my sub for sure. Thanks again!
Thats awesome! So glad I could help out. I highly suggest you check out my playlist for beginners. It'll be very helpful for you 😁 - czcams.com/play/PLP5OXTIIDO8NYvhUHAmwAd54WFmS4d8er.html
Super helpful. I now understand what's been going on with my new tank.
Classic story. Pets at home in the UK misadvised and sold us a tank (19L... very, very small) and suggested fish-in tank cycles were easy. Cloudy water on day 4, with our 3x little Platys gasping at the top of the tank... meanwhile, no Ammonia or Nitrites were found during testing.
Those heterotrophic bacteria are stealing the Oxygen. At least we can now help them and attend to the ecosystem properly! A bigger tank is on order, as are some live plants. I'll agitate the surface to keep them going.
Hi, Kev, I am fascinated by this stuff as well. I got so frustrated yrs ago with my african cichlid tank that i just gave up and put all my stuff away. tank,pump everything. But, I have always missed having my aquaruim. So, I recently brought it back out, cleaned it out and got everything up and running again with no fish yet. I have been watching all your videos and found that i was doing alot of things wrong. Thank you for your videos they have been so helpful. You must have been some kind of teacher in the Marines because you know how to explain things. Thanks again and excuse me while i go check my tank. Soo Lets go!. Johnny!!
Glad to hear that you're back Johnny! This time you're gonna do great! 😊💪
This is such a relief. I didn't have this bad of a bloom on my first tank and I thought I had done something horribly wrong
Glad I could help! 😊
This has to be the best explanation ever about clearing up an aquarium. I have a 55 hexagon new setup, topfin canister filter. It was clear (ish) for a couple of days. Now it's cloudy so I'll leave it alone and let the filter work. Thank you very much!!!!
Thank you! Glad you're finding the channel helpful! 😁💪
Thankyou so much, new tank set up & woke up to cloudy water ekkk! After watching your vid clip, i know i juat need to be patient.. Thankyou
Got my cloud tank clear in 1 week with a few of your suggestions!!...I created DIY filter layers plant holder with dual density filter pad, activated carbon bag, and then bio media 15 in 1 bag and guess what!?!?!? Clear water in less than 24 hours!!...I used a waverider to filter water throught this DIY layered filter plant holder and it worked. Tested ammonia with the seachem alert pad. ALL GOOD! Totally agree to keep using also the prime and stability (or I used API quickstart or FRITZ)... Algae grew which also meant my bacteria is also kicking....TOTALLY WORKS!...Thanks! This was for the 10 gallon tank. Gonna try to set up next my 20 gallon tank with the same planted, fisn in cycle, previous sponges and then PRIME and STABILITY...boom....Hopefully it will be in 1 week again! Yes i added neon tetras and shrimp and nerite and mystey snails at day 4 of 7 week. Fed them to let them provide ammoia and let the bacteria get to work!...Day 8 today water is clear!!
Also I could used an ammonia pad to the layers to help with ammonia!
Thank for sharing the knowledge Kev, cloudy is something your information is not! Always crystal clear and easy digestible advise. As always thanks for your time and effort’s in pushing these uploads out.⭐️
My pleasure bro, I like what you did with the “cloudy” word play lol Glad you enjoyed the video! 😁
Dude! Your video was perfect timing. I kept thinking 🤔 🤔 that it was cloudy because of the aquarium salt and the Melafix. This makes so much sense. I have been using seachem prime recently in my water changes. I thought water changes would change the cloudiness but it never left. Although it's going to be tough to just leave the water there while using aquarium salt and just waiting for the goldfish to heal from ammonia burn. Slowly but surely my knowledge grows thanks to genuine person like you in the aquarium community.
Thank you bro, glad you found it helpful!! Good luck with your guys recovery 💪
Tell me more about your goldfish healing from Ammonia burn...What do you mean by that?I would like to know as I keep gold fish in my tank. I too experience my gold fish going slow and ultimately kick the bucket especially after a huge water change of 60%.
To be real the first 10 seconds did make me happy, & calm, then I proceeded to dance to your intro music. Great job.
lol Glad I could help bro! 😊
Thank you! My new tank was all set up yesterday, and BAM I woke up to cloudiness. I had a major panic attack that I did something wrong. I felt so much better when you told "me" not to panic! Love your channel, you are amazing. I always feel like you are talking directly to me in a language I can understand 🥰
lol, Glad to hear your finding the channel helpful! Hopefully your tank has cleared up since this comment!
@@KaveManAquatics Tank is crystal clear and gorgeous because of you and your videos. There is so much mis-information out there, I only follow you now 🙂
THANK YOU, KAVEMAN AQUATICS for this simple, thorough explanation. I highly recommend your CZcams channel to friends of mine, both beginners & advanced hobbyists.
Thank you! Glad you're finding the channel helpful! and I appreciate you sharing the channel with others that also need the help 😁💪
This is a life saver! I am currently having an issue start in one of my Killifish tanks. Your explanation has given me the key to fix it!! Yaaaassss!!! 🤗
Awesome! Glad I could help!! 😊
Panicking is exactly what i was going lol On my 3rd day cycling my new tank, no fish there yet and the water is murky. Thank you for the video, subscribed
My pleasure, glad I could help! 😁
Sheeeew! Thank you for that! I’m a novice and learning all the things new aquarium owners learn as they begin their saltwater journey. I was pacing in front of my tank wondering if I needed to do another water change. Glad to hear the solution is just to keep watching it as it clears up! I believe my cloudy bloom was because of my second water change ever. Your explanations are great.. thank you!
My pleasure! Glad you're finding the channel helpful 😁
I'm experiencing this with a new tank right now. Thanks so much for your clear (and entertaining) explanations.
My pleasure, Glad you found it helpful 😊
@@KaveManAquatics awaiting doing nothing hoping my new tank water clear up
Hello I have a new 2 days tank with filter inserts bacteria from another tank, the water is cloudy. I have only some plants, no fish.How many days it needs to clear?
@@dimitriosgagalidis4400 I'm having the same problem now. How long did it take to clear up ?
Streets IsWatching hello, unfortunately my aquarium is 60 days running and I never had crystal clear water. Always floating dust and last 3 days I have brown algae. I use juwel bioflow m filter and I am thinking to add en external
I have watched so many useless videos that in no way would help.... soo all I have to say is THANK YOU! I really appreciate you explaining this , now I how to remedy my problem.
Love the educational aspect of this video rather than the opinion aspect that is popular on other channels.
Thank you! When I make a video like this, I try to stick to the facts. Glad you enjoyed it.
Thank you for dropping all that knowledge in one video! This was a super detailed, informative video and straight to the point. Bravo
My pleasure! Glad you're finding the channel helpful 😁
Hey Kev...thank you for the video, had this issue reoccurring in my 1ft cube-planted shrimp tank. Will longer lighting cycles be a factor too for bacteria bloom in an established tank(freshwater)? Or maybe using the wrong light, the one suggested for marine ones?
I don’t even have an aquarium but this guy is such a great teacher, I kept watching. 10/10 video
🤣 Thanks! Hopefully you get the itch for a beautiful aquarium some day 😁💪
came across this video- thank you for an easy explanation!

I panicked anyway!!! However, the fb group helped me to chill out. I was (still am) a newbie who has binged so many videos. I needed this! Thanks again Kev
My pleasure! Glad you're finding the channel helpful 😁

Thanks bro! And Thanks for yours!! 😁💪
Just started my new tank, and every helpful tank has came from this dude. Stright to the point, doesn’t take 10mins to explain one thing. Packs all this info into one video.
Thanks bro! Glad you're enjoying the channel! 😊💪
Bro I love your energy, and love your videos you go straight to the point and the way you explain is so much better then other channels. Every time I search for something and see that you got a video about it, I always check your video out first and then don’t even need to watch any other channels keep doing what you do best man👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you bro! Glad to hear you're enjoying the channel! 😊💪
So many videos focus on new tank cloudy water which is almost normal, thanks for going further regarding established tanks. Your videos have been a big help man, thanks!
My pleasure! Thanks for that feedback, glad you found the video helpful 😊💪
It's 6:10 a.m., searching for explanations on cloudy water in my new (3 wk young aquarium now experiencing a bacteria bloom) and you had me laughing out loud with your "funny bunnies". Seriously! But thank you for a great vid on how to combat bacterial bloom in my two 5 gallon tanks of Tetras. You always come through, K!
My pleasure Catharina! Glad you're finding the channel helpful 😁
I don’t even own a fish but now i feel prepared enough to have one thanks to you man !
🤣 Thats awesome! Glad I could help pre-prepare you! 😊💪
this is so professional, very informative, i just made a refill in my aquarium then after 2 hrs it became cloudy lol
Thanks! Glad you found it helpful 😁
Thanks! You helped me start to clear up my Bloom. I cleaned my tank out to find something decomposing in the water.
Glad I could help!
I just dosed my 75 gal with Paracleanse yesterday due to a parasite issue with my fish. I used the measured amount for 50 gal to account for displacement (decor,etc). Woke up this morning and I have a light bacteria bloom. My tank is established. I’m worried now that the medication could crash my tank. I did not think to add Prime in the meantime while it clears up, so thank you that was a great idea, makes sense. I wish there were more vids on this reason to cause a bacteria bloom. Or at least doesn’t seem readily available after numerous searches.
Man I love how you ask for likes AFTER you explain what to do. Thx so much for that. It gets annoying when people spend 3 mins talking about yt numbers and saying "sub and like". Props to you man!
Thank you bro! I know exactly what you mean. I watch a lot of CZcams myself so I try to keep in mind the things that annoy me so I don’t do it in my videos! Lol Like why would anyone like or sub BEFORE they even watch the video and before they know if I’m going to give them the info they’re looking for 🤷🏼♂️ Should be common sense right lol
Bro I know what you mean, so many people before they even start there vids are like "like and subscribe" 🤔 I don't even know if I like it yet 🤣
Kaveman always explains and presents his content and then asks, if you like this subscribe and like. So much better format.
Thanks bro! Happy to hear you guys are liking this format! 😁💪
Awesome explanation. I got a degree in Biology minor chemistry classs of 1992. I’m old and forgot it all. You explained it superbly. You should teach college Biology. I would take your class. Pat Cruz - Corpus Christi Texas.
🤣🤣 I have heard a lot of crazy ideas in these comments but that one was the best! Lol Thank you sir! Glad to hear I got it right! 😁💪
24 hours after refill tank and bacterial bloom in progress.thanks for the great advise.
My pleasure! Glad you're finding the channel helpful 😁
I find this stuff fascinating as well.
I definitely think this is the issue with my office tank. No whatever what I do, this continues. We just set up the tank and only have a few small corys and an about 6 other small wish till we decide what dish to go with. But the water heater kept aquarium temp at about 85 , maybe higher, can’t remember, and maybe I’m over feeding. For the two corys I add two sinking pellets a day. Maybe that’s too much and flakes for the regular fish and maybe this excess food lingers in the tank.
ah man thanks so much, I was thinking "Maybe I should change water MORE often"
Most of us do in the beginning, lol Glad I could help!
Dude you are so clear with the point thanks a bunch. Well deserved sub
Thanks for the sub! Glad you enjoyed it!
Best channel for fish keeping I have a few I follow that are awesome but this guys channel is legit af
Clear explanation. I got a brand new tank the other day and woke up to cloudy water today and I thought I did something wrong Lolol thank you for this video!!
My pleasure, Glad it helped
This guy has the cleanest tanks and beautiful set ups.
Thank you! 😊
I feel like you are speaking directly to me ☺️ “calm down don’t panic!” I’m seen 😅
🤣🤣 I try my best to relate as much as possible. We've all been there 😊
lol So that my Granddaughter could see one of Nature's transformations, I let her put a breeder cup of frog eggs from our pond into my tank. We had a blast watching jelly balls turn into tree frogs! However, now that the little froggies are back to the pond, Grammy has to deal with a horrid bloom situation that seems to have emerged almost a week later. Thanks for the "stay calm", & great advice...glad you popped up. :)
Wish i saw this sooner. Just lost all the fish in my community tank. Sucks man, i had guppies, red minor tetras, betta fish, mollies, assasin snail, ottos’s all dead. I had rummynose tetras that died. I fed the tank in the morning and it was crystal clear all fish swam fast to the food all good. I come home around 5pm see this white cloudy tank im like wtf. Majority of the fish already dead and the rest looked bad and eventually died. Had no time to save them. Great vid though man, right to the point and easy to understand.
Got so much scientifically useful information in just like 5 minutes. This is awesome. There are other channels that provide some useful information but their video time to information ratio is so long.
I hear you! Glad you found the video helpful! 😊
Thank you very much. This helped me out 100% brother.
Hi I am dealing with this right now, I am stumped...hopefully that product will help. I hope the product you advertised will work. Thanks for the video!
Thanks for the knowledge, Kev. It hasn't happened to me yet and I hope that it doesn't happen!
Great info thank you
wish i had seen your videos before I started this hobby. i live in Africa, KENYA. and your videos are incredible I almost gave up. cheers @KaveMan Aquatics🔥🔥🔥

Thanks for the advice was helpful and thanks for your service
Thank you! 😊💪
Hi, just wanted to say this video is SUPER helpful! I’ve had a betta tank before, and sadly all the betta fisb i’ve had ended up dying, so i said screw that tank and bought a 5 gallon tank (just the tank, lol) and the light, filter, and heater separate. this time, i put all live plants, including bamboo, some grasses, a fern, and a few other leafy plants, and a little hiding cave. once i got it running, it got suuuuper cloudy and i got nervous as this was my first live planted tank and thought i had done something all wrong. your video was a big sigh of relief 😮💨 hoping to let it filter for a few weeks then i’m going to get my betta :) thanks so much for your help!
Thank You Sweetie! You are AWESOME! ❤
My pleasure! Glad you’re enjoying the channel 😁
Hey Manito! I enjoy your videos and glad your in the hobby. I learn a lot from you just started my 4th tank trying saltwater this time. Watching from Japan
That’s awesome, thank you for watching from Japan! 😁 Apréciate you bro!
Once again, so informative! I love how you cut to the chase. I have a new tank and was wondering about the cloudy water. Now I know not to worry!
Glad it was helpful! 😁💪
Great video, I enjoy learning new things through your channel! I currently have bacterial bloom, but I am also dosing Prime and Stability as the tank has just been set up. (I watched your video on fish in cycling). Should I continue with Prime and Stability, or stop and do nothing as this video instructs? Thanks again for sharing your knowledge!
Thank you for all the information. I am just starting my tank. I am glad I found your channel it has been very helpful thank you very much.

My pleasure bro! Glad I could help! 😊💪
Hi Kave, I know the video is a few weeks old, but I hope you will take a moment to help answer this question. My situation is that my tap water is high in ammonium. Prime doesn't get rid of ammonium, what it will do is convert ammonia into the not-so-toxic form ammonium - which I all ready have an abundance of. What this means is that at the end of the ammonia-to-nitrite process, I have a pretty high nitrate level (80+ppm) that my plants and bacteria can't tackle fast enough. The solution given for a nitrate spike is to do a water change, only for my situation, it's just continuing this bacterial bloom, and subjecting the fish to a yo-yo effect with the water condition (my tank will cycle the ammonium to nitrite to nitrate within 2 days). I know many people will say "Get an RO filter!" only I can't afford it, nor do I have a place to install it since I live in an apartment. You spoke of the anaerobic bacteria, so my thought is: What if I add more of it? Is this going to also produce a bacterial bloom? and is there a product out there that only has anaerobic bacteria and not the typical cocktail sold as "quick start" bacteria? Thank you for taking the time to read this, and thanks for the videos, they are a great help
Thank you so much for this video and the prime recommendation! 🙏 it was exactly what my tank needed after a plant died and caused a bacteria bloom
My pleasure! Glad you're finding the channel helpful 😁
Thank you for this. I just cleaned my turtles tank and used a new brand of sand and this happened and I was panicking but clearly I just need to let the water filter out.
My pleasure! Glad you're finding the channel helpful. 😊
BTW, you should check out my new Aquarium Keeping APP designed for beginners! - aquabuildr.com
The point of how rapidly the bacteria multiply in just around 15 minutes....wow. My past experiences make so much more sense now
Glad it was helpful! 😊
Thank you so much, I just started in the hobby and I looked up everything BUT the bacterial boom.
My pleasure! Glad you're finding the channel helpful 😁
Very helpful! Thank you so much! Getting my 55 Gallon setup and came across bacterial bloom!
My pleasure! Glad you're finding the channel helpful 😁
Good but the gist of it is: use Prime drops, 2 drops per gallon of water. Clean any grime and poop, and then wait it out. 👌
