	Diatoms, KNO3, and green water
Sonic2041 Enthusiast Posts: 152 Kudos: 142 Votes: 19 Registered: 19-Dec-2004	I think i am going to buy a diatom and some KNO3 to fix my green water. I think i am going with the vortex for the filter. It is on that pet place for 68.99, or petsmart.com for 68.89. Has anybody ordered from either of these site? Which is better? for the KNO3 has anybody ordered from http://www.gregwatson.com/proddetail.asp?prod=Nitrate on my previous thread someone mentioned it. When using KNO3 how much do i use, and do I Continually use it, or can i fix the no nitrate problem by adding more fish? Thanks for the help, I need to see my fish again.

It should be run only occassionally. Before you invest in that and the KNO3, I suggest you read this article: http://www.otocinclus.com/articles/greenwater.html Frank -->>> The Confidence of Amateurs, is the Envy of Professionals <<<--
