The Water In My Quarantine Tank Looks
Like Lemon Lime Gatorade.
Is This A Phosphate Problem?
The Damsels In It Are Very Healthy.
Want Can I Do To Make The Water Crystal
Clear Again? Whats Causing This Problem?
Anyone?
Thanks

could you give the water params.... the equiptment you have running on it and all the livestock...
my guess is it is some sort of diatomic bloom in the water...

The pH is 8.2
Salinity is 1.024
Nitrate 10ppm
Nitrite 0
Ammonia 0
2 Damsels have been in it for well over 3 months
and the tank is 20 gallon.
Everything is fine just the water is green

hmmmmm try testing for phosphates...
or do a small waterchange around 10-20% maybe see if that'll take the color away and see if it comes back...
how long has it been like that?

does the tank get any exposure to sunlight? if you have any direct exposure to the tank it could be an algae problem.
