Default Green Water Column

I will take a crack at "sexual" :D At my age its fun just talking about it. :D

Ok, to get serious now. After your first post, I figued it was just water yellowing from lack of carbon use.

Yes, I am a believer in regular use of carbon, but just a little at a time to keep the compounds that colour the water. Of course water changes also achieve this, but thats another story. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Anyways, as I read your next post, it sure does sound like the calerpa doing its thing. :D My 170 did the same last year. Dont know why, but turned to pea soup. If the calerpa looks fine, keep an eye on it anyways. Perhaps a water change and then run some carbon.

You never mentioned which skimmer you have, but I was running mine skimmerless at the time. When I turned my Euroreef on it cleaned it out in no time, sucking tons of green crap out.

Hope some of that helps. Mostly what the guys have already mentioned.
