Green Water : Easy Carbon

[Linda4fish]

Will easy carbon help get rid of my green water?

I understand the underlying cause .. I removed some snails a time ago and I’m afraid that triggered the bloom as I am probably overfeeding.

I am working on having a more balanced tank.

Sorry about the green water. Folks who breed fish love it because it encourages the growth of plankton as food for tiny fry. 
I think it’s caused by extra nutrients in the water and an extra light. A UV filter will take care of it but they’re not cheap. Maybe start out by reducing the light and changing some water.
 

Here’s a recent thread:

This type is separate from your filter and not to expensive, although the brand name version from the box stores might be even less expensive
