How long the tank been running? Bacterial bloom? Water change will not resolve anything need to run the cycle. Ammonia in water? Check if there's ammonia, if there is, over dose Prime will patch it temporarily.
I have been having this planted tank for last 4 months... I have also updated the pictures for your reference... Please advice.. Also how to check whether it is Bacterial bloom and what we have to do for it? thanks
Looks like green water. Ammonia is often main cause. You probably have an ammonia spike. Large water change will not cure it. 4 months still a young tank. The only time I beat this algae is to use UV that has a right watts for your tank and use it for a week or two.
I just kill my lights and stop feeding until it clears. Then resume with less lighting and feeding. If it stays clear then increase the lighting. If it starts to cloud up again reduce the lighting. Until the tank stays clear. my .02
