Hm. Okay then probably not a bacteria bloom I guess. Precipitation of some kind perhaps?
What does the bacteria product look like? Milky? Particles in it?

You need to top off with just plain ol fresh water.... RODI is Reverse Osmosis DeIonized water which is filtered water, coming from a RODI unit. You can purchase the units from www.buckeyefieldsupply.com.... That would make your standard tap water, which has a TDS (total dissolved solids) rating of about 288 down to 0. Essentially you will strip the tap water of all of the muck in it so that it comes out perfectly pure. You want really pure water so that you have less problems down the line with nuisance algaes, etc.... You may not see any now, but if you keep adding just plain ol tap, it will be a problem in the future. The particulate in the water could be sand or detritus (poo) from fish. You want to get as much of this out of your water column as possible, which is why reefers employ the use of a skimmer. I highly reccomend the use of one, preferably in a sump. If you would like to come and see it all in action, you are more than welcome to come talk shop at my house. My wife digs photography, and I am sure she would appreciate the time to talk to other photographers. Let me know, there will always be an open invite.
