Re: Green water

Bob-

I had had this problem as well, and fought it for a
several months! Tried everything I could. Water
changes, no lights, covered the tank, so it would be
in darkens, changed filter media, as a last resort
used chemicals....AND they didn't work...... SO what I
ended up doing was striping down the tank.....got all
new substrate, and all....new filter media, incase any
of those nasties were in their....And haven't had any
problems since! Now granted mine wastn't a planted,
tank, and only had to goldfish in it....it was my 55
gallon...But once I striped it down, it was fine.
Haven't yet figured out what the problem was....

Hope you don't have to go to this measure, for your is
planted....
