Green water?
My water has been green for 2 weeks!
I tested all parameters and they are fine. 0 nitrates, ammonia, and nitries. I am using RO/DI water and it has a TDS reading of 0. I run my lights for 6-8 hours daily and the tank is not next to a window. Please help, I don't know what is causing this... |

Sounds like a phyto bloom. Do you have any fish/corals in the tank right now?

I took four steps and it cleared the problem up in 2 days:
1) Ran a UV steralizer 2) Put some clarify chemicals into the tank 3) Temporarily put a hang on filter on the tank 4) Ran my skimmer very very wet |
