Regular Member Queenie Posted September 4, 2005 Regular Member Share Posted September 4, 2005 I've always had a problem with green water in my 47 gal. I've tried extra small water changes, turning off the light and covering the tank for several days. Nothing works. I tried the algae treatments but I won't use them anymore because they made my fish act funny. The other tanks don't have this problem; only this tank. The fish don't seem to mind but I just hate it.

Regular Member DataGuru Posted September 5, 2005 Regular Member Share Posted September 5, 2005 Daphnia in a breeder net or a UV unit would clear it in short order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Slugger Posted September 6, 2005 Regular Member Share Posted September 6, 2005 I got rid of green water in 2 of my tanks usig 2 different methods. In my 55g, I got a uv that zapped it all in 3 days. In my 29g, I starved the fish for a few days and changed about 90% of the water every day for about 3 days. Strange, both treatments took about 3 days!?! The uv was easier, but more expensive. Slugger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Queenie Posted September 7, 2005 Author Regular Member Share Posted September 7, 2005 Thanks, I didn't know anything about uv sterilizers. I will have to look into that. If I can get some Daphnia I will try that first. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
