It has been over a week now, and the haze has not returned. From what he
told me, it was just this milky, hazy kind of appearance. It never became
green. When it happened to me, it started as hazy then changed to green. I
have had no reoccurence, and that was probably 3+ years ago.

HTH,

Hi Jody,

Thank you for your reply. so your friend's hazy tank cleared up with
3days
of no light? (just wanted to make sure.. I understand green water being
algae) Has your friend's water been clear since? or does he/she have to
do
the black-out occasionally to keep it clear?

thanks!

linda

I had green water once, and a friend of mine recently had the hazy look
you
describe. What worked for me was covering the tank with a blanket for
about
3 days. No lights, no food, and everyone survived. It worked for both
of
us, so you might give it a shot.
