Hello all,
I have been battling a green tank for 3 weeks now. I have done everything I can think of along with everything my LFS has told me to along with a few people on the forum.
My tank is green, I can't even see through it. I have been doing water changes now for three weeks and have not seen a change. I have even purchased a sock filled it with carbon and other filter media to drain it out of my tank and pump it back in to see if that would help and still got nothing. I purchased 3 sand sifters, 5 turbo snails, 10 hermit crabs and still have not seen a change. I am about to scrub my rocks with a toothbrush to get what little algae is still on the rocks. I recently purchased a skimmer to help because that is what i was told to do to get rid of the green water. My wife wants me to start over because she is tired of looking at it, as well as my self. My fish seem to be doing fine, the ones i can see. The water is testing fine, so now i am completely lost. If a fill a container with water from my so i can clean my rock of better would that be ok? Or should i purchase a small tank move my fish over completely drain the tank and start over. Spending more money at this time isn't really an option. We just keep spending and spending without seeing any results. Please help. Thanks in advance.
