It should settle eventually but more WC may be nessesary have read here http://www.oscarfish.com/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=80236 sounds like the start of a bacteria bloom.

jvision Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 I too think this sounds like a bacteria bloom. They may be consuming something from your driftwood, if it's new. I've seen a bloom when candy was put into my tank - anyone around who might be giving the fishies a treat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
