If you are fighting green-water, then most likely you have a nutrient
imbalance (if you are growing plants).  Usually green water appears in
Nitrate limited tanks, and so Nitrates are actually ADDED to remove the
green-water.  It seems counter-intuitive unless you think about how all
the macro-nutrients interact with the growth cycle of plants.

 no plant in this  tank history of this tank is I had it in storage for a 
couple years because of a move and I was trying to sell it no sale got tired of 
storing it so I set it up in my spare bedroom ( which fyi has very little 
sunlight exposure) cycled it and put a couple paradise fish in it that were 
inteneded for my pond this spring. water turned green and I couldn't get it to 
stay 
cleared  when I got some new fish and tanks at the auction I ook it down   got 
rid of the gravel  and left the tank sit then  re-set the tank up in a 
diferffent spot with different filter sand and fish  water clear for three days 
then 
green has stayed that way since  at least the end of april if not longer I 
have tried to change water,the  diatom filter, the algea detstroyer  treatment 
, 
and phosporus remover to no avail.
  but in the last 2 days  the water has begun to clear with no change except 
I tried to set up the other diatom filter must have scared it LOL. this is the 
first time in  a lot of years of fish keeping  I have had green water  I hope 
its over.
