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
