What do you mean by bacterial explosion? Presumably your tanks cycled already if you're adding stuff. Do you mean a diatom bloom?

yes maybe, i've changed the skimmer, now i havea tunze 9001

the problem is a green water, maybe due to the add of fito and bacterial

 

i think with the new skimmer problem is solving, but maybe if this will continue i'll use a UV light.

Thats a phyto bloom. Its due to nutrient levels and imbalance in the system.

yes

and what would you do? i think that skimmer is working well and it's helping, i see less green in water day by day, but if u have any advise, i'll take it

Mine in my 10g went away after 4 days.

 

Its due to nutrient levels.

I'd test your nitrates and phosphates(salifert test kit)

 

Are you over feeding, dosing anything?

 

I just had one in my 15g. I did a waterchange, changed my carbon, added phosguard, and cut the lighting period.

no i don't, i m adding nothing to the water

nitrates with red sea test were about 3ppm and po4 with hannah checker 0.3 ( i added nyos GFO, but i have to change it this week and i'll add phosguard).

mine isn't still gone after about 7 days, light it's about 9 hours per day, maybe i can reduce it. what do you think?

how much water did you change ?

I did 3g in a 15g tank. I reduced my lights by 2 hrs. Its helped.

 

You could get a uv sterilizer like the green killing machine.

maybe i'll reduce lights from tomorrow. i'm waiting for a friend to borrow me the uv light, i think i won't use it anymore and it's like a waste of money, but if this friend won't help, i'll must buy it

A uv sterlizer kills algae and parasites. Look up green killing machine

yes, in fact i told you i'm waiting for a friend ( i asked him his uv light) but i will buy one if he cant borrow me his one
