Do you have reactors on your tank?

I have been through two outbreaks. Never cleaned or treated. It goes away on it's own after a couple weeks. The best thing is flow. From what I read, you are doing all the right things, even more than I have. It's a bacteria outbreak that has to run it's course. Whatever nutrient it feeds on it seems to use up or perhaps another bacteria overruns it. I wish we could test for what "feeds" the various outbreaks. I am not a clean tank freak, I like a little and have various algae on the back glass and rock. A stable healthy tanks fights off a "cold". My theory for what it's worth.

Once this stuff starts dying, will it release everything it absorbed back into the water?
