Green Water Or Tanins?

[Walt]

Pretty much been 48 hours, and still no change....

Mr Phosphates is looking like the culprit....

don't have a PO4 test kit but dose enough for 2ppm weekly

How to you know your at 2ppm if you dont have a test?

I find i dont need to dose PO4 nearly as much as NO3, so ill guess youre over loading on PO4....

Or your fish have found your fridge, and are cracking open some beers while youre at work..

Guestimating! (1/8th tsp = 2.3ppm)

72 hours, tank is still clear. Considering I was having to do a water change every 3 days before I'm positive it was the phosphates.
Case closed.
