NickD Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 10 gallon with plants and substrate, it’s been like this for months and I do 80% water changes sometimes, and it still comes back to this!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lefty o Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 is it exposed to a lot of natural daylight coming through a window? green water is often triggered by that hot intense daylight coming in through a window. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tlindsey Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 @NickD what's the temperature of the aquarium during the day? If the temperature is ok for the fish you have I suggest placing a dark background on the aquarium to block the daylight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nabokovfan87 Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Move it yeah, but adding vinyl blackout film to the wall helps as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dacotua Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 Not sure if I can post links to stuff or not, but buy and put one of these in your tank https://www.aa-aquarium.com/gkm *IF* you have a canister filter, you can buy for the canister filter as follows: (But I assume you're only running a sponge filter) https://fluvalaquatics.com/us/shop/product/uvc-in-line-clarifier-series (I use Fluval canister filters, so the inline clarifier works well with me. I have it run for 6 hours each day..) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
