We will need more information, What size are these tanks, what are your ammonia,
nitrite, nitrate and pH readings? What lives in each of these tanks? Do you
have live plants? What do you have for lights and how long are the on? Any
natural lights here?
What color are these bloom's? Are we talking gray/white or green?
The more information you give us the more helpful we can be.

Need some advice....
Hey folks. I'm new to the group, so hope I post everything right.. Anyway, I was
wondering if anyone could help me with what seem to be continual bacterial
blooms. I have two smaller tanks, and regardless of what I do on maintenance
day, they seem to bloom every week and by the time they are clear again, its
time to add water. I've tried mixing it up, like: changing water w/o disturbing
the filter, adding water only and slight cleaning inside, just doing different
routines to see what happens. Doesn't seem to matter. Both tanks should be well
cycled as they've been up and running with fish since last summer, and none of
the fish seem to be unhealthy. Kinda frustrating, I've kept freshwater tanks for
years w/o this problem, but not with this tap water source. I don't know if
that's the problem or not. Any advice would be appreciated!
