Re: [APD] Bacterial Bloom

Richard-

Yup. took them out a few days ago. The pot was actually what my windolev 
(sp?) java fern came in (so I assume it's inert), and the small bit of wood 
I collected on a local beach (some other pieces gave me no problems). I 
soaked them for weeks, and boiled them a few times as well. They milky 
cloudiness of my tank is now beggining to get a green hue to it. Is it 
common for a bacterial bloom to give way to an algal bloom??
