problem solved !!!...i hope....
heres what I did
Removed the fish
Drained the tank with a siphon
when the water was about to be completely drained, placed filter media on the siphon to prevent gravel from being sucked out
turned on the hose and placed the hose on the othen end of the tank and let the siphon continue removing water from the other end,
so pretty much most of the green water was removed
Filled the tank, The water was from the tap, so it was chlorinated (I can smell the chlorine)
I ran the filter for about 20 hours
Added the fish,
4 days later Rosy barbs spawns
its the 6th day and no trace of an outbreak of green water so far...hope its stays this way Foooooooreveeeeeeer |
