Hi all -
I recently set my 58 gal tank back up. Its been going since October 10th so 2 1/2 months and I haven't touched the tank ever since. For the last month, the lower 2/3 of my tank's water has been completely green where you could not see anything inside it. The upper third of the tank has a "pink glow" from my VHO's. There is little algae growth on the tank walls, which I know is normal.
The LFS, Mile High Aquariums, said to do a 50% water change and leave the lights on the tank on for 6-8 hrs a day. I did what they recommended and for the most part, the "greenish" glow has gone away. However - is there anything else I can do to totally get rid of it? I just don't want all this "free floating" algae to come back again and turn my water green. Is there any supplements that I could add? I want to completely get rid of it.
Regards -
Phil
