So this is an odd one I never came across before. For the past few days every time I feed my fish within an hour the water is cloudy with a bacterial bloom and all clear by morning. Then when I feed happens again. So today I fed frozen mysis and no bacterial bloom. But later in the evening I fed little flake and boom bacterial bloom.
tank is 2months old 40B only with rock and pair of clowns. I have had blooms in the past that last for days but never short burst like this every time I feed dry food.
 
I cut back on the feedings for now. if you're having a bacterial Bloom that says that the tank isn't really cycled yet. Time will help.
