Such a great thread, I have spent the last half hour reading through most of the posts. I too stirred up my substrate a couple of weeks ago (by removing a couple of plants) and this last week had an issue with the beginnings of green water. In my tank, it just looked like a white haze. Last night I used my Magnum 250 with some diatom powder in it. I let it run for about 3 or 4 hours. When I opened up the filter to clean it out, it was definately algae inside. I am going to continue to feed my plants and try to replace the ones that were removed. I will keep you posted on my results, as I don't expect that I am free and clear of my GW just yet. It can't be that easy to get rid of !! |
