I'll keep that in mind. I'm wondering if it could be a bacteria bloom since the high chlorine content from my RO water. I've heard that the chlorine will kill the bacteria and now its trying to repopulate. Ever heard of this? Quote Link to comment

Ever heard of this? Chlorine does kill bacteria, that's why it's used for treating our drinking water. Quote Link to comment
Tired Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Chlorine kills bacteria, which is why you don't want it in your tank. It'll kill off your biofilter, and burn your fishes' gills. Find out if your local water supply puts chlorine, chloramines, or both in your water, and treat accordingly. A decent water conditioner will remove both. Quote Link to comment
