green tank

[Dburr1014]

The best way to get that algae out is to have a filter sock and run the water thru it. Clean the sock everyday. Turn the lights out for a few days. Can you somehow do that?

[nathancaspi]

yes multiple what’re changes to get the green out

 

[nathancaspi]

idk what to do

 

[Jekyl]

First thing is to find out how the nutrients are getting into the tank. They're either leeching from something already in the tank, or you are feeding waaayy too much

 

[Jekyl]

I would do a few 30 or 40% changes over the course of a week. Get the numbers to acceptable areas and then test daily to get an idea of increase.

 

[nathancaspi]

redoing test

 

[nathancaspi]

i think i might of did it wrong

 

[monkeyCmonkeyDo]
