tennisjad3 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 On weekends I generally have people over and the music volume eventually gets pretty high. I've noticed the tank gets a bit cloudy after this, but generally settles down in a day or two. It's been about 4 days and several water changes and I can't see a thing in the fish tank and my corals look really pissed. I'm moving in 4 days also, so does anyone have a remedy for this? If not, I might just sell all my corals and fish and just scrap it before moving as I am also about to start traveling 4 days a week. Thanks in advance for any and all help!

jolt Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 My tank PH drops a lot when I have a lot of people over, but I have a hard time imagining how music could cause cloudiness ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm imaging the vibrations stirred up some stuff in the sand/on the rocks or something along those lines. The fish are fine, but it looks like I mixed milk into my tank right now. Bleh.

mFrame Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 How many people are we talking? Do you turn down the A/C, change in temp, open doors or windows? I can't imagine the music would do it, I'm thinking more of a bacterial bloom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tennisjad3 Posted May 31, 2016 Author Share Posted May 31, 2016 About 12-15 people. I'm living downtown, so I generally hold the pre-party before we all go out. I've noticed lately every time I have people over and play music loudly the tank gets cloudy the next few days. As for temperature no change and no open windows/doors. There was a pretty solid film on top the fish tank, so it very well could be a bacterial bloom. I assumed it was the music/vibrations stirring up the tank causing it. What usually causes a bloom?

+KimP Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Is there any chance a guest put anything in it? One of the members on here used to have roommates that thought it was funny to put goldfish crackers in his tank. Be sure to run carbon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
