The UV did such a great job. Lovin that Harley. Great start to the collection this giant system can support.

These huge tanks 👀 look amazing, but when they get a problem like algae bloom, they look 👀 horrible 😱 exasperated by the size of these beauties. Glad that you were able to ‘fix’ the problem so efficiently Cam. 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

When I set up My current tank up at first I had the worst bloom. It was like milk I couldn't see through it. Done everything. 100% water changes, new media etc etc and didn't work for about 3mths. Thankfully I wasn't in a rush to get going but I was losing it with the bloom. On the verge of packing it in I got a uv as a last resort. By next day it was almost crystal clear, 2 days later it was pristine clear

I have just installed a 57w on my cade 1200

Nice job Cam in getting that bacterial bloom under control. The tank looks crystal clear after you installed the UV..

[@tonycloseukreef3799]

Huge improvement 👍

I had something similar to this ended up being a algae bloom. Bought two green killing machine UV’s and the problem went away in a couple days.

[@photographyinflight4183]

Had a bad bloom right after cycling, waited about 10 days and cleared up on its own, no uv needed.

Great job cam...allways better to oversize the uv than under do it and have a false sence of security.

[@trelopouloss]

Its a shame all this expensive UV unit and they dont provide proper fittings to connect to pumps... and you have to put glues and stuff..

Cam what size of Uv would u use on an 400 litre tank. Would that one in the video be good

[@kutcha20]

is this a algea bloom or a bacterial bloom? im only asking cause title says bacterial and i keep hearing algea in the video

[@A.R.C.77]

😁🤘

[@vesawuoristo4162]

Reason bacteria bloom happens is more nutrients suddenly, filter issue or other bio filtering issue. What happened here?

[@bopeep7806]

First !!

[@Nick-co9pf]

video title says bacterial bloom but you're treating an algea bloom. These are not the same thing and can have different causes and treatments.
