<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 3723538, member: 76194&quot;]Even if the water has been green or brown, that&#039;s no sign of the quality of the water. You can have clear water in an aquarium that&#039;s full of ammonia and heavy metals that will kill any living thing in the aquarium, and you can have brown or green water with zero ammonia, no heavy metals, low nitrates and nitrites, good pH, etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>My water went all green on me a few weeks ago, yet all the tests showed the chemical balance of the water was good, and the fish were just fine for the two weeks or took to clear the algae from the water. About 4 years ago when I added the driftwood the water was brown for 6 months, and I didn&#039;t lose a single fish during that time. Some fish naturally thrive in nature in murky water that&#039;s brown or green, or red (due to silt, wood or leaves in the water, or algae) and they do just fine. There are far more rivers with murky water than with clear water in the wild. As long as the chemicals are in balance the fish don&#039;t care.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
