First off I have two tanks a 64g and a 77g and they both get the same treatment, (ie same water for water changes, same conditions). A friend sprung a leak in her tank (about 2 weeks ago) so I rescued 2 snails, a hand full of mollies, and a pleco, one snail went into the 77 and the rest into the 64, about a week after that the water in the 77 started turning green. I did a 40% water change (on both tanks) and and cleaned the mechanical filter last, that helped for a day yesterday I did a 80% changed and the water is truning green again already. But there is nothing wrong with the 64g it hasn't changed. The 77 has a fluval 405 the tank has been running for 2 months, is stocked with 1 blood parrot 3", 2 catfish 1.5", CAE 4.5", 1 pleco 5", 1 brisle nose pleco 1.5", 2 red gromies 2", 1 dwarf gromie 2.5", 15 guppies new born to 2.5".
If anyone has any advice, as to why only the one tank is going green, I would really appreciate it. Thanks
