Green water
I am setting up a new tank. I have NO fish or plants in it. Just sand,
flourite, gravel from the river, and a piece of Malaysain driftwood. All of
that was pre-soaked for a week. I had hooked up my equipment and had it
running for about a week when all of a sudden the water turned green. Fairly
nasty looking. The water was not still. I had cleaned the tank with vinigar
and salt and rinsed it 3 times before I filled and equiped it. Could the
gravel from the river have done it?
