- Green water can only be completely removed by using a diatom filter (Magnum or
- Vortex) with multiple changes of diatomaceous earth. Letting it run overnight
- following succesive changes will yield completely clear water. I dont know why
- this happens but I have seen 1 tank get green water where the 1 next to it is
- fine.

- My magnum did a great job on green water *WITHOUT* the diatomaceous
- earth. With *only* the micron filter it works great. I now run the
- micron cartridge continuously with weekly swaps between cartridges.
- My water stays crystal clear. That diatomaceous earth stuff scares
- me. Abrasive particles clouding the water doesn't seem safe to me.
