So I've had green water for around 2 weeks now. Thought it would come and then go with time, beginning to think not.
I've been told the green water is phytoplankton, I did a large water change last week, it cleared up for a few days, but then came back.
I've shortened the light cycle, decreased feeding, run carbon gfo etc.
I've done some reading, could there be a phyto bloom because the food chain is unbalanced, the tanks only 3 1/2 months old, so there's probably nothing to eat the phyto, like rotifers or Copepods?
Could adding live rotifers help clear the water and also produce a nutritious food for my fish?
Any help would really be appreciated?
