Hello I am new to the forum. I have 3 tanks set up. 2 55 gal and 1 39 gal. My second 55 gallon is the newest set up and I am having a problem with the water. Its green. I have been doing partial water changes every 2 to 3 days (20 percent), and 2 days ago I did a fifty percent water change. The water keeps turning green. The parameters are fine. I have a master water test kit and test the water weekly. PH is 8.2, ammonia is 0 nitrates and nitrites are 0. The tank has been set up for about 3 months now. I at first thought it was just a cycling issue, but now I am not so sure. I havent had this problem with my other tanks and could sure use some help. I have a pleco and a Red devil in there. I keep the water at 80 degrees. Hope this is enough information and thanks in advance for any help anyone can give me.
