so im doing a water change and...

[ryangrieder]

my water is crystal clear. looks perfect to the point that you can barely tell water is it in from far away. i just drained out around 5 gallons into a bucket. the water in the bucket is green. like high lighter. not dark or forrest. but high lighter green. wtf? why?

 

[juiceguy]

that is normal, the greenish tint is buildup of organics

 

[armani4o3]

clear water doesn't mean your prams are good

u are lucky that green water in that bucket is not all over the water in the tank this means u have a good filter system and or skimmer and u must have alot of nice live rock which is aiding in the filtering process
