RLHam3 Fingerling Posts: 44 Kudos: 34 Votes: 0 Registered: 20-Mar-2008	hey i've got a 6in oscar in a 30 gal (i know he needs a bigger aquarium sson) and i left him with my dad for a week. when i got back the tanks water was so green cloudy that i could barely see the back. i guess its an algae bloom. i just put some "No More Algae" in the water. how long should the water take to clean up and what else could or should i do?
