Help with bacteria bloom

aznnutty · 07/07/2012, 07:59 AM

I know that a bacteria bloom will eventually go away once whatever nutrience it's feeding on is gone but I've had this bacteria bloom for 2 months! After the first month I did a 90% water change on the tank thinking is cloudiness coming from my dry Marco rock. Then it came back.

The tank is only set up for months with a bare bottom and the rocks were rinse prior to using. Anyone have a bloom this long or longer?
