Hello all, my tank in going thru a cycle, I am 1 1/2 months in, about 2 weeks ago I started going thru a diatom bloom, which I know is normal...but whats weird is the water from the overflow force into the sump has slowed down tremendously, there is foam in the refugium and everything this just seems to be moving in slow motion. It seems as though the water is "thicker" even though it looks normal minus a little cloudiness. I did a water change 5 days ago. Thanks
