Algae will appear on the glass which I clean off but at the moment it's just green waterIs there alot of algae or just green water? Or both? I used chemipure blue on my old 20g Nuvo and it worked well. Cleared the water right up.
1. Did you use RODI water?
2. Did you leave the lights on or off while cycling?
Your tank is cycled. Get a CUC together
Get a maintenance routine setup
Wish I could empty and start from scratchActivated Carbon also works well to clear water, uv , chemipure blue as well.
I always cycle my tank with lights off. When tank is new you don't want nuisance algae taking hold because there is nothing in there to compete with it. You want all the other good organisms staking claim to real-estate before turning on the lights.
Woke up this morning and the tank is getting better. Will be doing a 10% water change this weekIf it's algae, turn off the lights. It'll die back, and make sure to do water changes so all the nitrate and phosphate doesnt leach back i to the water from the algae.
