Turface releasing something into water?

[krap101]

I changed my substrate from a aragonite-type sand to turface a few weeks ago. A few days after, my water turned a whitish cloudy (it was expected) and a few days after that, I got some green water. I have a couple plants, but they're pretty weak after a few bouts of staghorn algae, so I'm not sure if I should just do wc's or if I should dose ferts. I'd imagine the Turface is releasing something like iron and other things into the water, and from what I've read, green water can adapt to different nutrients, so starvation is basically out of the question.

turface dosent have anything in it. its prob everything that was kicked up from when you switch the substrate or another cause.

i had a similiar problem once after i uprooted a plant. was kinda thinking it was a bacterial issue that was under the substrate or on the roots of the plant that was dying.
