Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

Today morning when i woke up to feed my fish, realized that my tank water had turned light green & a bit clowdy...

Didn't have time check the parameters... but there wasn't any missing fish & my tank doesn't have any anemone etc...

Still puzzled, as to the reason for the color change...

Yesterday night it was all ok, just did some algae cleaning, but not enought to cause so much green colouration...

Anyway the fish look ok.. just change a bit of water, cause i had a small pail of salt water in reserve...

Has anybody has had any similar experience...

Hope nothing dies when i reach home... tonight. :shock:

Thanks in advance...

50 Gallons FOWLR

1 Damsel

1 Copperbanded Butterfly

1 Maroon Clown

2 Skunk Shrimp

1 Fire Shrimp

1 Sand Sifting Star

1 Sun Coral

1 Algae Plant

i have a Caulerpa... but its slowly fading away cause these algae plants require strong lights... & i have just PL lights in my FLOWR setup...

Did u have any problems or causalities when your cheato gave out color....

I think u maybe right, the algae plant may be the cause...just read that the spore can make the water turn milkly-green color
