NoPoX overdose???

FWIW, creatures may like it as food, even if it looks unattractive for a few days. [emoji3]

Randy,
So there is no harm to fish and corals? I worry about my SPS being that they are such sensitive corals....

As long as you keep the water well aerated, it is no concern (unless nutrients got too low).

Ok, so 36 hours after the over dose of Nopox the bacterial bloom has cleared. Maybe 90-95%...
Water is crystal clear.

It happened at some point over night. Ph is also up. I bumped up my Vortechs last night as well.... Thank you for keeping this nervous nelly calm “Randy” lol

Thanks again
Steven

I also overdosed on nopox and cloudy tank and fish dying. What do I do? Water change???

DarthSimon · Nov 28, 2018

The cloudy water is a bacterial bloom. It will go away..... It shouldn’t effect your live stock.... Go through my thread above...

A severe bacterial bloom can decrease dissolved oxygen levels. If fish are dying then yes do a sizable water change and also increase water aeration with powerheads, airstones, etc.
