sheren · 11-24-2008, 04:13 PM

blue_eyes53813 · 11-24-2008, 05:01 PM

What have you done to get it to reduce in algae bloom?

sheren · 11-25-2008, 09:40 AM

50 % water change so far and did not put anymore chemicals in the water I did order the other thing he recommended above but has not come yet

lcstorc · 11-30-2008, 02:33 PM

Have you done any more water changes? How is the color?
This is really puzzling me since it happened so suddenly.
Is there anyone else in the house who could have put something in the tank by accident or a child. Things like air freshner in the room can make a difference.
