Can you please try to repost your question using actual sentences and punctuation vs what seems like a thought stream/text like speak?

Capitol letters, complete sentences an proper punctuation really help.
I think you had a question but I don't even see a question mark.

If English is not your native language then it may be better if you post in whatever language you are comfortable with and let us use a translation tool to translate.
 
+1^ If the tank is only 3 weeks old thats why there is "green" as you put it. The tank will go thru this for up to the first 6 months.
 
Sry but if grammer punctuation bother you don't read

Grammer and punctuation don't bother me.
The lack of them makes your posts difficult to read as they help provide clarity and intent along with many other valuable aspects of communication.

I take it from your response that you are not interested in trying to improve that so I wish you the best and will just move along. :wave:
 
So many mistakes in spelling.....grammar and capital.

Anyway, on to the OP. How many pods did you put in there? 3 weeks isn't much of a start to a tank cycle and then throw in fish. Are you referring to the algae bloom on the rocks etc.,...or is your water green?
 
Helped freind move reef shop tank he gave me all bunch bioballs and ceramic media in bag to start tank 100 copods 10 days hit ammonia spike when went down add fish snails crabs tank looks fine today adjust ca and alkalinity very very little green think just panicked never had tank turn pea soup not saltwater.
 
Sounds like you just had a bloom of phytoplankton from the Copepods.
Seems like it has passed now and gotten better (pyhto was consumed/settled,etc...)

Enjoy.
Patience and don't over react.
