Solid Green Water

[caferacermike]

For green water I would recommend you at least borrow a good UV sterilizer and see if that kills the spores. I think what you are seeing are all the spores floating around in the water. Passing by UV or being in contact with O3 (ozone) will usually destroy the algae. I'm not sure what caused the green water itelf but at least a sterilizer might clear up the water.

i'll try to see if any one that i know has a uv or i'll check with one of my friends that has a ro/di unit and see if he can help me out.
about the fish in the tank, the water was green when i only had 2 damsels (got rid of them) but i'll probably move the angel to my reef tank but i'm scared it will nip at my corals. the 8gallon i've been talking about is actually my soon to be wife's tank.

The windmill has like a 7 or 8 stage filtration and UV sterilization is one of them

I've had two coral beauty's so far and have had luck with neither of them nipping at my corals. Nano tanks can be very finicky to work with.
