![]() Yes big water changes up to 30%, and if you can't afford an RO/DI at the moment then I would suggest buying some bottled water, Costco sells RO Polaris and it's cheap execpt for the $10 deposit

![]() Alright, well thanks to everyone for their help I really appreciate. My water has just got clear this weekend after a long month. I was using water changes and then added in Algone, and finally on about wednesday this week I got a UV sterilizer. I am still waiting for my Protein Skimmer to show up (still on back order at Big Als). So if anyone else runs into this problem I think the thing that made the biggest difference was the UV sterilizer.

![]() Do you have caulerpa macro algae? The only time my water has ever gone green is when that stuff goes sexual. I hate that stuff so bad
