Trapper,

Nick's advice is right in line with effective management of GW.
You can correct the plant nutrient issues etc, but.........
You still need to remove the GW adults that are growing.
They are much tougher and able to withstand any abuses you throw at
them.

I just picked up a D-1 diatom filter today. After two hours'
operation, the bag is very green but the tank is not yet noticeably
less so. Patience, patience...

[lots of interesting stuff snipped]

I'll probably end up diatomming overnight. Will follow up as to how
things go after all the green buggers have been extracted.
