Green Water in 155 Gallon Aquarium

[wrassecal]

This is beginning to sound oh so familiar Thomas, that was an interesting article you posted though, not sure I completely agree but very interesting.

I'm going to say thanks to everyone who helped me will my problem.
As for BANG BOY he is the kind of person who makes Police Officers lower their self to his standards so that is why he has the name BANG BOY.

skeetw, I was just trying to lighten up the thread a little bit. Bang Guy is one of THE most knowledgeable people you will ever run across in this hobby. He has helped countless people, including me, sharing his knowledge as well as stuff. I would not have a refugium if it wasn't for him. He has helped me in many other ways too. We are lucky that he gives so much time and advise to this board. Please listen to his advice, it's some of the best you will ever get. If you won't act on the advice that both he and Thomas have given you then he is correct in the advice he gave you in his last post.

What is the best Skimmer that I can buy at a fair price ???

 

[skeetw]

Has anyone used Algone in their Saltwater Aquarium ?????

skeetw - I think what your doing is looking for a cure in a bottle. If this Algone kills algea it would be a bad thing IMO, not that I have used it or even researched algone. However algea is a nessesary thing in the ocean and in a reef tank, using a chemical to NUKE that tank is the wrong approach.
Finding the cause of the problem and solving that problem is the right approach.
Have you orderd a test kit for phosphate?
Did you go out and get any RO/DI water?
Are you running any PO4 remover?
Have you done anything for the tank at all other than change the filters twice a day? And yet you don't tell me that your skimmer is filling up at all? Is it?
How about this. Why don't you post your State and City and we will see if any members are near you. Perhaps we can find a volounteer to come see this Hulk Green tank of yours and give you a hand.

WOW...
Thomas, I think that your status as a shark underestimates your willingness to help. You have my vote as "Saint" for your continued help.
Bless you.

I went to Walmart a bought the water and yes the Skimmer is doing fine and I live in Sylacauga, Alabama. Sylacauga is 40 miles South of Birmingham.

 

[skeetw]

Should I have the light on at all or should I turn them off for a while ???? If I should turn the lights for how days should they stay off.

 

[skeetw]

I have had over 570 people view my problem and 57 replys. If you have anything to add about Green Water reply.
Thanks
