Answer
Hi Connie;

Green water is caused by unicellular algae known as "planktonic algae". It is a very difficult problem to solve.  I know someone who had a very persistent green water problem and tried a product called "Hagen Fin Care P-Clear" that worked for her tank. Not every solution to this problem works for every tank though. Here are some web pages to help you learn more about it and what else you might be able to do about it;
