[redgolden]

hi recently set up 5x2.5x2 out door for red tanning
filtration is 75 gallon sump
5 days after i transfer red, whole tank is green cant see fish

is this bad for fish?

I have a friend who faces the same situation. He got a uv. According to him, quite effective.

i did uv before in older tanks
i thought sump filtration can handle sunlight

Bro, Just get a UV Pump. Takes around 2 weeks to clear all the green water. Pump must be run 24-7. Tried, tested and proven for me.

Cheers!

What will happen if i dont clear the green water? Is it bad for aro?
Will wc help?

[llewellyn]

Safe for aros and rays but aesthetically not pleasing ..... and I didnt wait until got casualties then I clear up the algae.
Wc plus manually scrubbing off the algae works but will come back within a day or two.
I have this problem with few of my tanks that is near the window.

Nothing to scrub on glass as it is clean thouh water super green

I guess aro cant be tanned thru green water?

After a while, algae will start to form on the glass..

Get a UV, it works for me. Green green water became crystal clear after a week.
