Re: Return of the nry 'Helferi Hills'
Nice to see you back.
Nice to see you back.
I spent ages trying to get rid of green water, water changes once a day and then tried willow branches (but I think this might well be an incompatible technique since we are adding 'loads' of ferts anyway) the only thing that worked for me was a UV unit, I think it was fish r fun it had a 200lph pump which pulled the water though it. It sorted the problem in a couple of days. I did plenty of water changes too as the uv was killing off the algae I didn't want an ammonia spike. It cost £20 but it meant I could see through the tank again.nry said:Green water is back...seems like it didn't get cleaned away fully with the tank strip? Thought it was initially a bacteria bloom but today it most definitely had a green tinge. 50% water change, will try to do this every day and see if this gets rid. Tried blackouts in the past to no avail...
