Green Water

[jake_francis]

I came today from vacation and I noticed that water is green. It never happened before. The tank has been running since November. Any suggestion how to fix the problem?

what is your tank testing at phosphates wise

+1 on checking phosphates. When checking for phosphates I would check your tank water, your clean saltwater you use for water changes along with your top off fresh water.

I'm not sure where you are coming in form but it's been a really hot week here. Do you have your tank running on a chiller? Are your lights on a timer or controller?

also a water change couldn't hurt

Carbon change and water change

The phosphate is 0.5. All the parameters are normal. I changed 10 gal. I used RODI water.
I don't have a chiller. Temp has been between 80-82.
The lights are controlled by Apex Jr.

The bulbs are new. Changed it to LED. No micro bubble in the sump. Water helped a little. I may need to do more water changes.

Carbon and clean filter socks will fix it.

like everyone else said, Carbon will clean the tint up... I would also consider running some gfo for your po4. Unless, you don't have sps then you might be able to get away with .5
