I'm very frustrated at this point because now I'm dealing with really
bad green water algae and the bacteria bloom (white cloudiness). I did
a small water change (about 20%) last night, in line with what's been
suggested to me to allow the bacteria to settle. Should I be attacking
the green water problem first or the bacteria bloom? The water's so
thick that I can see the currents moving through it. I can't imagine
that my fish are very comfortable with all of that in there.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to tackle these simultaneous
problems?
===================
See my earlier post concerning Vortex Diatom Filters. I've had one for many
years. They'll remove BOTH the bacterial cloud and the algae. I think
"That Fish Place" still carries them or ask your local fish store if they
can order you one. They leave the water crystal clear. You only run them
a few hours, not 24/7 as they're water polishers.
