I added a little urea to the tank (didn't have any ammonium hydroxide that I was absolutely sure is soap-free) and the dead algae greened-up a bit almost overnight. Some of it is even turning blue. Doesn't seem to be trying to take over yet, so I'll keep battling with it for a while with just plants in the tank, with frequent vacuuming and filter changes and small water changes, before I add any fish.On 26/11/2011 21:14, Bob Baron wrote: > Surprisingly, I haven't had an attack of green water yet (the city > injects phosphate into the water supply.) That's because it needs nitrogen to grow not phosphate. :)
