Good to know I'm not the only one that uses the fish tank as a bedtime warning light. I tell my children if those fishies are sleeping, you better be too! 🤣
LOL
😂🤣😂🤣
**Cough** “I’m fine” 💀😂
It's true
This is the rare instance when being lazy is your best course of action.
Nailed it!
some of those fish need bigger tanks man😢
Really? Why? Which fish?
3rd and 4th tank at the top looks really too small for the size fish
@@marcleroux3426 lol, 60 tanks in the fish room. Be more specific.
"Do nothing, don't screw it up" is often good advice. Glad to see your dog providing valuable assistance there.
LOL, he always does.
I'm laughing like a Hyena at your steps to fix a bacterial bloom!!!!!!! Priceless!!!!!!
Lol, thanks.
3:26 thanks bro
You're Welcome
Why is it that whenever I am in genuine pain over something tank related... this is the ONLY man with the answers (AND he somehow describes my exact problems!!) 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 Michael...are you a mortal man?
LOL, because I have a lot of experience messing up!
What if its brown and growing on the walls and rocks?
Then is sounds like diatoms.
Im having a bacteria bloom now. Ive done literally everything but sleep. Put a uv light put new polishing pads haven't slept in 3 days and tomorrow i want to do a 50% water change
Or, you could do nothing and fix it.
@@MichaelsFishRoom i have 5 fish 2 shrimps and 3 crabs in a month old tank. I did this to myself didn't i ? Thankfully ammonia is 0.2 nitrite 0 and nitrates at 2
By doing stuff you are literally going to make it worse
The dog ruining his shot lol
The dog made the shot!
I bet this dude’s house smells like a toilet bowl
How much?
Absolutely love the video!!!!!!
Thank you!!
I'm not sure I can do nothing. I get huge bacterial blooms that coat everything in white slime, even to the point of clogging the filters & killing the live plants. One fish store owner told me "This is a negative bad bacteria from your home." Some saltwater fish keepers on CZcams told me b/c I clean things around my apartment w/ rubbing alcohol, the fumes could accidentally be carbon dosing the tank causing bacteria blooms. I just tried to cycle a tiny tank w/ no fish & ammonia chloride drops + Fritz Turbostart 700 & sure enough, white water & clime clogged filters again.
Send me pics, I think the salt guys are wrong and the fish store is also wrong.
@@MichaelsFishRoom Thanks. I have a video called "Molly Mating Dance1" on my other channel "Captain Green Beard's Cove" that shows it pretty well.
@@MichaelsFishRoom I also have a video "Revenge of the White Slime" on the youtube channel I'm logged in as now.
@@MichaelsFishRoomWhere can we buy your pre-seeded sponge filters?
@@wcdeich4 www.michaelsfishroom.com
damn you've got a nice 🐓 😂😂😂😂
LOL
During the bacterial bloom in fish in cycle is it okay to top it off with new treated water if it starts to evaporate?
Yes
Great video. I'm very sure I have a bacterial bloom. I set up a canister but there is just a subtle surface agitation, will this affect the bacterial bloom? Should I just be patient and wait?
Just be patient.
Subscribed and love the information..awesome 😊
Welcome aboard!
Thanks Mike..moved to a new 220g tank and got bacteria bloom...basically do nothing is my experience and yours too. 😊
01:55 I was thinking “Huh🤔 I would leave it alone for a couple days first. What’s he going to do?” 🙂
LOL
Grab a healthy snack… *me eating Reese’s pieces 😂
Peanut butter is protein!
Sir I just bought a clownfish and also the tank. I added the sand and a live rock. Now I’ve been waiting an hour and my tank is completely white (assuming it’s the bacterial bloom.)
No idea. It could just be dust.
@@MichaelsFishRoom it cleared up today 70%
Can I add new stock when I’m having a bacterial bloom?
I wouldn't.
I think that's the best technique I've seen yet on how to fix a bacteria bloom lol. I do have to say that is a beautiful tank!
Thanks!
Shall I still feed the fish twice a day as usual during bacteria bloom
I do.
@@MichaelsFishRoom thank you for replying that mean a lot to me
It been about 1 week or so since I planted rotala my tank is cloudy
Ive just started a new tank and its gone extremely cloudy uts seemed alright on the first day but now i can barely see the back of the tank, ive add a water cleaner to make the particles easier to be picked up by the filter and aqua balls but its seem to be the same not sure if I should wait or start it all over again
Are you sure it is not a bacterial bloom?
I’ve had my 55 gallon for about a month and I can’t tell if it’s still bacterial bloom or filter issues. The filter is new and seems to have a steady output. Could it still be bacterial bloom?
Yup
The problem isn’t a bacterial bloom in itself, it’s that it can consume all the oxygen in the tank so it’s important to put lots of agitation in the tank.
Thanks
@@MichaelsFishRoom I learned that the really hard way. My kids were traumatized by how many fish died in one night.
Easiest way to do that is buy bigger filters then what your tank needs 10 to 20gal should have 30gal filters only reason to use small filters is if you have planted tanks ect just really depends on the setup you have
@@JasonFolk07 The tank is 36 gallons with a seachem tidal 75 but the water was high and the tank was overstocked. The power heads were on a timer and when they turned off, I guess there was t enough splash from the filter to oxygenate the water. If the water had been lower, there probably would have been enough agitation even without the power heads.
@@rogerandjoan4329 true but those seachem tidals are kinda under powered imo good for tiny tanks cuase it cleans great for a 4 stage filtration but a aquaclear or aqueon quiet flows have more flow I found for larger tanks or even a canister filter
Great vid! I like the idea of a fish tank light as the bedtime timer lol. I have to say, when you said you were going to show how you fixed it, knowing you, I knew it had to be good!
LOL, thanks for watching.
GREAT VIDEO
I didn't know it was so complicated.
Are those Neons or Cardinals with your Angelfish. I've been told to avoid neons.
Peace ✌️
They are neons. Why were you told to avoid them?
@@MichaelsFishRoom Because they are too small and will be eaten.
@@djneoda1535 Gotta fatten them up!
So much work! I hope you took a break or two! 😎
What do you mean?
@@MichaelsFishRoom I was trying to make a joke about how hard it is to deal with the bacteria blooms. If only I was funny...
I had a cloudy tank but it was a filtration issue. API root tabs crumble into dust when wet, and it was so fine it wasn't captured by my undergravel filter. In fact, I think the UG filter was pulling the particles down out of the gravel and right out the uplift tube. I had to split my air line and run a box filter with floss for a couple days to get the fine powder up. I also did my weekly water change as normal.
I decided to keep running both filters, because it doesn't hurt anything. It might even help!
Love it!
Thanks!!
Neon tetra looks really nice in the tank.Besides Angel and neon and cory, what kinds of fish in the tank? I see other fish but do not know what they are.
Red and blue Colombian tetras, bristlenose plecos (a few different kinds), and black neons.
i just had a Bacteria Bloom last week.. lol... my fix was getting a UV light..
Then it wasn't a bacteria bloom.
Clean filter leave it alone
Some of my fish died because of this bacteria bloom is that normal?
No, they died from something else.
@@MichaelsFishRoom I have a water test kit coming in the mail so hopefully I can find out what’s going on
Do you still feed at all or is it absolutely nothing at all for a couple days?
I still feed.
Poly fil. Good for cleaning water?
cleaning?
Do you feed them or should i wait till it clears?
I feed them.
@@MichaelsFishRoom like once per day or every 2 days? How often do you feed them?
@@delcastilloian I feed as normal.
So glad I checked this video out, didnt know much about bacterial bloom, mostly with how it occured as most information is about new tanks, which my tank isnt new 😂 found it was down to the filter
Nice!
Haha best fix yet! You say it all the time just leave it alone
Yup, but yet now one listens.
Should I take out my filters
Why?
@@MichaelsFishRoom never mind now it went away
I followed your advice to a zzz :)
Legend!
That is the hardest thing for to people to do, nothing!
Correct! Lol
Hit the sack! Classic

I liked the sloshing water sounds, I thought what the hell is he doing 😂 how do small animals sound so loud drinking water - my cat’s the same.
Great video, do nothing and it’ll clear on its own.

@@gulkhan-jy3wx You didn't answer my question.
Hope that big fish got a bigger fish tank 😢 can’t really pay attention to you talking because I feel bad for that fish. Not good fish kipping.
What fish?
I'm guessing you use the same method I do.... nothing. Let's see what happens...

That’s funny ….. if they want pets to play with they should just get a dog ..
Who?
The people that want to keep dumping crap in there aquarium because it becomes unsightly for a spell people treat chemicals like it’s shampoo I say if it’s healthy let it pass don’t worry it should clear up by swim suit season
