I have been having problems with green water for about three weeks now and have tried every method to clean it up without and sucess. ive tried three day blackout, using two not four lamps, %50 water changes, clean water chemicals, adjusted temprature, feeding fish on alternate days. I asked the guy in Maidenhead aquatics for some advise today and told him all of the methods ive been using, he said that if the T5 lamps were over 7 months old they will start to cause algae blooms. Im not convinced on this but my lamps are about 9 months old. I would just replace the lamps but it would cost about £100 to replace all four lamps! has anyone come across t5s causing algae blooms?
