WTF JUST HAPPENED TO MY TANK

There is a bunch of white "flakes" floating around my tank, I think it's an algae bloom
I thought maybe aliens abducted your fish
Looks like some trash or debris some one put in your tank. I'd probably take some of it out and examine it up close as opposed to guessing.
But that's me.
But that's me.
Sometimes when my power goes out, when it comes back on, stuff accumulated in the return lines gets blown out into the tanks. I net out what I can, and the tanks will clear up in a half hour or so.
You say you're cycling the tank. Is it a brand new set up, new pump etc etc etc? If it's all new i doubt it would be built up gunk in your lines but if you're just starting a fresh set up using gear you've just taken off another tank then it could, as previously mentioned, be a release of gunk from your return line. It happens to most of us i think, unless you clean your return lines every week. It does clear, it just looks a bit unsightly.
