How would you get rid of green water?

[EricTheRed]

The best plan would probably be to throw the whole dang thing out my window and start from scratch. Anyone know a good contractor?

Yeah, I will do it for FREE.. How big is this window? :screwy:

 

[EricTheRed]

It's pretty big and elevated above a walk-out basement ....

 

[Lil BamBam]

Oh yeah!! That should be easy to toss tank right out....

Dude.... you need a much bigger tank. Looks like a beta bowl in that room!!!! Hell even your TV is bigger than that Nano tank of yours!!!!

I was thinking a 95% water change should do the trick. What would you do?

lol...that would be a nice big mess...you might as well throw out your tank and buy an oversized L shaped tank

 

[Smitty]

The best way is to leave the siphon tube in the tank.

No, no, no, you're all wrong! The best thing is to put in driftwood from a freshwater setup. The brown from the tannin would push out the green!!

 

[DD]

I heard buying sickly fish from people and broken equipment could potentially help with green water. I could be mistaken though

 

[DanSreef]

Have you tried drift wood???????????????

Laaaaaate.....

 

[yogoshio]

Your best bet is to put a ball valve smaller than your drain pipe and then buy a much bigger pump. Then you won't need to siphon the water out anymore.

lol!!!!

That's a 4 foot tank dude, I can't help it if the TV is bigger.

Sure you can! Get a bigger tank!!!!! You know you want to!!!!!!

This and a little driftwood should take care of all my problems, thanks guys!

BTW...does anyone know if acro's will stick to driftwood if I use super glue?

 

[DanSreef]

Driftwood=Elmer's Glue.

 

[RedDevil.258]

No your all wrong. Just use a leaky sump and allow the water to leak out that way.

 

[DD]

And use glue and silicone to seal leaky bulkheads!
