Where are you located? Agricultural area at all?
What are phosphates ammonia and nitrites at the tap
No ammonia ot nitrite and I have another tank that is just fine.
Sorry I was asking if the other tank is on a continuous drip as well. Like is it also on a continuous drip
May as well eliminate the continuous drip for a couple weeks, and probably cut the feeding to once a day for a couple weeks also
I can’t imagine the continuous drip from your well would be the source unless the well itself has issue, even a water softening filter isn’t going to cause this problem. The only time I e had cloudy water with particles it has been when filter media was actually coming apart and releasing itself and its contents into the tank. The only issues with cloudy water from a bacterial standpoint have stemmed from over feeding or not finding a dead fish soon enough.
Ok I might have found one thing that can be contributing to the bacteria bloom for months.
I have two 275 gallon IBC totes in my basement for the sump. The first one I have set up as a settlement chamber I just drained it out last night and took out a bunch of detritus, I was not able to get it all as I have K1 in the tote but I had to get 90-95% of it. I did not realize how much had accumulated in there. I need to come up with a way to keep that clean, my first thought is, fill a reactor with some poly fill to try and filter some of it out I was also going to put a small pump in there to try and keep the detritus suspended. Also try and run more macanical filtration, I might hook up the DE filter to that tank instead I just need some sort of inlet screen for the pump so I don't suck up the K1.
