There are different types of algae that is green. Is it spots or fuzzy like? What type of medicine are you using? There aren't many kinds that I can think of that do a good job of getting rid of algae. You need to ID it first and then find out what is causing it. Treating the algae doesn't do any good if you don't fix the problem. |

DONT use any chemicals yes they kill algae then the fish eat the poisoned algae and it can/will kill them.
