Post by: Fishnut on April 17, 2012, 02:27:08 PM
Is anyone currently experiencing this issue in their tank or pond?

A uv filter would clean that up in no time.

Petsmart has something called The Little Green Killing Machine. I had that problem and it worked great. 55 gallon took several days to clear.

I had a terrible case of green water in my 90gal planted discus tank. I googled remedies and read about using willow branches.. So I went out, cut a bunch and miraculously it cleared it all up within a week.. Might be worth a try.. here's a pic, but I actually put close to twice that many in.

Well, I'm actually asking because I want some ::)

Yeah, crazy, I know but I bought a culture of live daphnia at the DRAS auction and green water is the best food.  If I were to start a few 2L pop bottles in my window, I would get green water faster if I had a started sample of it.
