A buddy of mine just got over a a real bad green water problem . Seems he
had used carbon in his filter after I warned him not to. (Carbon leaches
phosphorus into the water causing alge blooms)
(His nick name is "Bone head" in case your'e wondering!)
Anyway, I suggested that he stop using carbon in his filter, cut back on his
"lights on" schedule, keeping it to "8 hours on" at a time only. And do
water changes daily, or every few days until it cleared up.  It took about
10 -.14 days to clear up.
