The only difference between the two other tanks is I don’t feed Sera Micron to them. I’m still at a loss. I did a majority water change to test my theory, and water stayed clear while feeding something else, but the morning after my wife fed for me and used Sera Micron, it turned green.

I have not. I have very limited resources at my disposal here in Montana. Our LFS are very basically stocked and more are geared towards Reef/Marine tanks. I will do some research on that though, and see if I can source some online or something. I actually just moved some plants into the tank, but unfortunately again, both my local LFS have been out of Java Moss for months and are unable to get any either. Weather is a huge factor here in Montana, and it controls how often or if we can ever get live fish and or plants shipped in.

I just always find myself so envious of how pristine Dean's tanks are! I am starting my own YouTube channel, creative I know, and would like to feature tanks without the uninformed feedback of "your tanks dirty". Does that make sense? I totally understand the benefits of algal blooms, I have fully embraced it in my mixed African and S. American cichlid 75G. I would just like my "feature tanks" for videos to be the best looking they can be. 🙂

I have been doing at least 50% every weds for three weeks, and have now eliminated all natural lighting to the room. My thought is maybe it is coming from the Serra Micron food? What do you think?

Hey guys, long time follower of the hobby and AQ Co-Op, but first time poster. I currently run a 10 gallon guppy fry grow out tank, small breeding for profit operation, but my water in said tank always seem to be green. I don't have any huge excess of algae on the tank wall, do 50% water changes weekly, and feed the Serra Micron food. I have tried and tried to get it back to clear, but to no avail. Any input?
