Subject: Green Water - Help

I have a 55 gal setup that is 3 weeks old.  I have a 175 watt MH light
on 12
hours per day.  I have CO2 injection with PMDD added.  My plants have
been
in for about 1.5 weeks and are growing very well.  My problem is green
water.>>

There is product ACCU-CLEAR (by Aquarium Pharmaceuticals) (around $5)
whichprecipitates small particles including green water. This products
works
very welland fast. After you have precipitated the algae you can siphon
it off.
The algaemay come again  (after a week or so) You have tot repeat the
procedure
again.

As soon as your plants are big enough ( I hope you have fast growing
plants likeHygrophila spp. Rotala spp.) the availability of surplus
nutritients
will belimited.  It take about 2-3 months before your tank will be '
ecological'balanced.

Seasons Greetings.
