Bacteria Bloom- Why does it happen- how get rid?

fishnugget · 11/18/2006, 07:12 AM

Yesterday, found a leather covered in a brown substance. Removed leather from tank. Within 2 hours tank became cloudy.

12 hours later tank still cloudy. Does anyone know what this might be? How does it come? How do I get rid of it?

I was away for 4 days. When I came back all I did was scrape algae from glass, clean skimmer, & changemicro pad.
