I'm glad you like it. I'm not using green water in the set up. It's wall algae if you study carefully. Anyway, how soon you get green water depend a lot on your stock level, feeding, how long you turn on the MH and amount of seeding. If you seed about 10%, by right, sud be green by the next day. Starting from scratch will take around 3 days to see first sigh of green. This info are base on my own experience with plenty of trial and error. It's more for reference, and till you try it on your own, you'll realise it's not 100% the same. Regards, David Hou |

I strived so much to keep the carpet algae before when I had my koi pond. That was a sign of good balanced water.  |

That was a sign of good balanced water. Hi Phoi, I didn't succeed with this kinda carpet algae at one go.  Like you've mentioned, the difficult part is maintaining it. I gone thru many trial & error too.  Of coz, not forgetting to Thank a good friend of mine who've told me, inorder to achieve this, I have to think like a good farmer! Regards, David Hou |
