I tried the usual things like water changes, changing the photoperiod, reducing 
ferts., but nothing worked.  I read on the Krib about a guy who used a UV 
sterilizer and a water-clearing product and had great results.  So, off to the 
LFS to buy a UV unit.  I hooked it up to a second canister and let it run for 
two days.  I then put in the appropriate amount of Accurel/F and watched the 
tank clear before my eyes!  It's definetly a quick but long-lasting fix as the 
green water never came back.  Plus, having the UV around for other uses such as 
a parasitic infection is useful too.
