That's a lot of poos man. How come my fishes seem to digest their food better? What have you been feeding them? click-me.gif

How many days old is that tub har?

The water is cloudy...I think you green water is on its way. But then I can see algae on the floor. Why aren't they floating har? biggrin.gif I would siphon away the poos now, and top-up the water.

Oei, just siphon away the poos and the algae. Then change... 50-70% of the water (probably too much ammoia leow). Wait a few days... and you should see a little green water wor.

Is it true that once hair or green algae establish itself in a tank, you would not get others like the free floating uni-celluar type. I hear that the algae produce some kinda chemical to prevent competition. Just like an over-crowded fish tank.

Any thoughs on that ?

Yes. The hairly and turf type of algae uses nitrate as their fertiliser. When nitrate is present, its means biological activity is more bouyant than green water . Your green water has lost the competition for ammonia.

Observe bro hun's new green water start-up.

Because his light source is powerful, he's getting green water from scratch very quickly!
