Green Water: No
Country: Indonesia
Are green water and Carpet Algae works the same way? ie. processing Ammonia to harmless nitrogen?

I am trying to find the best combination of both world. Since green water is excellent for water condition and goldfish growth and color but it makes owners see their lovely pets once a week!

My thinking is, if carpet algae works the same was as green water, then we could allow our tank to be covered by algae, have excellent water condition and yet can see the fish!

Rational goal, no?

I think that's for greenwater, not green carpet algae.

U have to change 100% of the water for green carpet algae set up or nothing's gonna remove the ammonia & nitrite
