Read the link ragin attached.

Vacuum substrate thoroughly, look for and remove any dead fish, or any dead or decaying plants. Reduce feeding. Wait. The bloom will not hurt the fish but if you don't remove the cause or in fact add to it (by feeding more), the bacteria in the water column can starve out the BB.

Basically, you may have some sort of husbandry issue...no worries though. Correct it and don't repeat.

you lost your cycle. may have washed your filters in tap water or what ever. that's a bacteria bloom, i have not seen perams posted. water change every other day, do not touch the filters, dose with prime every water change for size of tank, not amount replacing.

water will clear up in about 2 weeks, in the mean time follow the schedule. change water ever other day, not 3 times in one day. 80%.

So I first asked for help on April 20 with a severe cloudy tank, since then I had tried everything from chemicals to water changes 4-5 times a week up to 80%. With little to no change about 2 weeks ago I gave up I Stopped the wc's stopped checking the parameters every other day stopped the chemical treatments stopped everything. So over 2 months since the issue started I wake up this morning with a tank about 95% clear. Wtf? Don't get me wrong I'm not complaining just shocked. How could it just out of the blue clear up like that? I seriously hadn't seen my fish in 2 months. It's crazy

Maybe you lost your cycle and the bb are caught up with the waste production now
