RE: Green water

["Paul Winchester" <bravo454@hotmail.com>]

Bob,
When I had a green water problem I ran my daitom filter for a few hours and 
it was the one thing that helped clear it up quickly. I am not saying it 
eliminated it but after running the filter on a 35g tank it was signifcantly 
reduced.

If you want to us my daitom filter I can loan it to you.

Paul
