Fish Crazy
Hi, Having trouble with my tank water going green every few days and have been doing frequent water changes to try to clear it, but to no avail.
It's a fluval 125l with a sand subsrate. The plants in the tank are Java Moss, Java Fern, Amazon Swords, Vallisneria Asiatica and Elodea Densa. The plants are growing well and their is very little algae on the plants or on the tank walls.
The only other things in the tank are a piece of Mopani wood, a coconut shell and some crushed coral that helps to raise my previously low PH. My PH is now a steady at 7.0, both Ammonia and Nitrite are 0 and the Nitrate is about 10 (obviously kept low by my frequent water changes).
I also cut down on feeding but this has made no difference.
Anyone help with what is causing this and advise on a suitable solution. I heard that high phosphate could cause this, is this possible and if so how do i remove it. Thanks in advance for any advice, Regards, Alan
