>>221823 Keep your light off and see if that helps at all. Also, if you try to find an algaecide, make sure you're getting one that specifically states it will take care of green water. There are tons of different types of algae and not everything works against all of them.
>>221906 I wish I could reach through my monitor and give you a sound beating. If the OP went to the pet store and bought one or two typical plecs, he's looking at one or two fish that can get almost two feet long a piece. Not to mention, they won't eat the algae that's present in the OP's tank. They'd have to be fed separately and wouldn't end up contributing at all. Your run of the mill plec will usually stop cleaning once it starts to get bigger, too. A couple of ten inch long shit machines is not going to help the OP's tank at all.
Also, are those goldfish in there? Like.. five of them? How big is that tank?
UV sterilizers are really expensive last I checked. They're like filters, but instead of typical filter media they route the water through a set UV bulbs to basically kill the algae.
Anyway, green water is a very common problem. Google is your friend. http://www.aquariumfish.net/information/green_water.htm
