Overdosed Bacteria

[blkhawk10]

So looks like I made a mistake...It seems I overdosed bacteria and now i have a permanent bloom. A couple months back I dosed live rock enhance and the next day I had a bloom with the cloudy water which was weird cause I've dosed it multiple times before with no issues. Fast forward a couple weeks and I still had the bloom, no cloudy water but had the clear slime that clogs your filter socks within a couple hours depending on how bad it is. I read a couple threads on this and decided to dose macrobacter clean at full strength, this seemed to help for a couple days but the bloom came back. I still have the bloom going on in my tank and I don't know what to do. I had a UV running which didn't help and I don't dose anything anymore all I do is feed the fish. I tried to stop feeding as much and did a blackout neither of those helped. Can anyone give any advice on this?

Water Changes??

Did you dose microbacter7 once or continually? You need to establish a competing bacteria

No water changes yet cause I read they may boost the bloom and I dosed macrobacter clean not 7, but I did it for 2 days and stopped. My tank has been running for over a year so its not a new tank at all.

how big is the UV that you used and for how long. When i had a bloom, I had to run it about a week to get the bloom out.

Change your water…

It's an 18 watt and it was running before the bloom even started. Doing one today so we'll see if it is that simple.
