Hi all,
I've got green water (not cloudy, just decidedly green-tinged) in my VERY young set-up - just three days old (journal here).
Tank specifications - 100x45x55cms high - heavily planted from outset into Aquasoil
Lighting - T5 2x24w, on for 6 hours, raised high, probably 20 inches above the water
CO2 - Pressurised, drop checker very bright green (no livestock in yet)
Filtration - Eheim 2180, 1700lph - this is a brand new filter with no mature media available to me
Fertilisation routine - EI. I've split the weekly amount in 7, adding a daily dose immediately after a daily 50% water change.
I'm assuming the Aquasoil ammonia spike is causing the green water, and that as long as I continue with the daily 50% water changes the green water will probably go once the filter has matured.
Am I right?
