thanks guys for all help, the water is still green after no light for 2 days. So you guys are saying that it will just dissapear and the water will become all clear in a few days?

Bro, correct me if I am wrong, algae form cos of sunlight, maybe I think u have strong light and let it run for 24 hrs. Wat I do jus get a UV steriliser which cost me $38 and my water is crystal clear. I also bought one UV for my coy pond for koi, within 24 hrs. The algae is gone. So don hesitate, get one UV will solve all problem and U won't regret and your water will be damp clear.And later jus buy one Fei Feng to do the cleaning of the algae if there is but I don think tat will happen if u get the UV.

Just switch off the lights for a couple of weeks. Did that to mine. I am also using a top filter.
