Hi
New to the forum and had a tropical tank for two years. Have a cayman 240 litre tank with a Bluwave07 filter system, we have a variety of fish including clown loaches, neons, silver sharks, platys, catfish and tetras.
We moved house 4 weeks ago and the fish move was very successful with no loss of life. However since the move we have had greenwater four times, we have treated it with regular 30% water changes with no change and resorted to using Greenaway each time which does get rid of it but only for a few days and it returns again.
The water tests are all fine, the fish seem ok, the tank is in a dark corner with lights on for appx 10 hours a day. We've changed the carbon in the filter and I'm wondering what else to do. The mechanical filter has not been changed for appx one year as we just rinse it in pumped out water when we do a water change, I'm a bit apprehensive about changing it so soon after the move. Can anyone give me some advice on how to get rid of this problem for good?
Thanks
Rach
