Ok, I've searched through previous threads and done my best to fix this but I'm at the end of my rope. I had a bad case of green water (algae bloom) a few months ago. It was sucessfully gotten rid of by a three day blanket black out. The water was crystal clear & things were going good until recently....
I have had this green cloudy water for the past several weeks. I did 2 blackout treatments (one was almost 4 days long) with some improvement. The water looked pretty good after but gradually the green stuff came back atter a few days. Here are my current H2O parameters:
Ammonia-0
NO2-0
PH-8
PO4-2.5
KH-19
NO3- less than 12.5, not much over 0...This one I think is kind of odd.
CO2-5.2 (If my numbers add up)
Its a 38 Gallon, lots of plants, 2.5 WPG, DIY CO2-1 bottle & sugar water plus wine yeast) moderate amount of fish, feed every other day, add some Seachem (sp?) nutrients once a week. Let me know if anyone has other questions!
