| why does my fish tank turn green so fast Has that happened to you? Your aquarium tank is crystal clear, but after one day, it quickly turns green. Your first move is to change the medium of the water and filter, it gets better, but it goes back to the same way so quickly, you’re going crazy, right? Don’t worry, let’s talk about why first! What Causes Green Water Outbreaks? Excessive Light Algae, though not plants, like plants love light. Your tank provides them with water, nutrients and light through the glass giving them great growing conditions, and some even use artificial lighting so you can reduce the lighting time. Like avoid natural lighting, but adding a small led light for aquarium to control the lighting is an option solution. Nutrient Imbalance The nutrients of algae are mainly nitrates and phosphates. These mainly come from fish waste and uneaten fish food. In addition, tap water may also contain these nutrients. An Internal Filter Aqua Pump may help for that. Poor Maintenance Lack of maintenance and water changes will only allow your tank to accumulate more and more nutrients suitable for algae growth. It can also harm the fish, parents don’t know when to change the water until their children get sick or have an algae bloom. So you need a Submersible aquarium water pump to keep the water better regularly. How to prevent the green water So it’s time to sweat your back and eliminate the algae. There are three golden rules to reduce green algae in tanks. Turn the light down In fact, reducing light only prevents algae from overgrowing, not eradicating them. If you have plants in your tank, you should ensure a certain amount of light every day, 8-12 hours is appropriate; If there are no plants, then you don’t need any light at all (except when you’re admiring your fish), and your fish won’t care. So a small led light for aquarium to replace normal sunlight, is much better option. Control nutrients When feeding the fish, you need to make sure that the fish can eat up the food within 2 minutes. Do not overdo it, otherwise too much food will sink into the gaps in the substrate, resulting in the rise of nitrate and phosphate. Add algae eaters Algae-eating fish, snails, and shrimp are good critters to get rid of algae. They work tirelessly to drain algae from the top and walls of your tank, helping you keep your water clean.
