Well i had green water for about 3 months and i was about to buy a uv sterilizer because i tried everything except chemicals [i don't think they're needed to acheive a good tank] But then the clerk at my lfs said to try to clean everything out even if that means requiring another cycling [i wasn't to worried about a second cycle.. i would prefer that to green water] well i never got the cycle, and my tank stayed sparkling clean for about a month, then i had a horrible accident, my heater broke and fried most the fish at 100 degrees farenheight except for a few guppies..mostly the younger guppies, [i only had guppies..lots and 2 cories] So i only had about 5 guppies left so i deceided to fix that up wait for a while and about 2 to 3 weeks later when all was fine i decided to buy 2 angel fish [they were on sale for 8$ CAD.. for both!] and 5 cories for 20$ CAD for all so i deceided to get those 7 fish plunk em in my 20 gallon tank. The angels are about an inch large and when thy grow to 3 inches i will buy a larger tank for them so that they have space. Anyways the next day or two i noticed the water was getting cloudy, so i did a water change of about 10-20% didn't help, the next day i did it again didn't help... and now it's almost completly green again. It's probably because of the amount of fish that i put in all at the same time? I've got about 5 guppies they're fry or teenagers not even close to full grown, 2angels an inch large, and 5cories. I know it's a few fish over the limit but i was hoping the angels would munch on the guppies which so far...sadly they haven't. Well anyways, What should i do about it? I really don't want to spend the money on buying a uv sterilizer, so should i just clean everything out like last time hoping that it won't doing another mini cycle ?
