Thanks guys!! How much is that uv sterilizer from petsmart? If I can afford it I will go get one tomorrow...
they have one thats $39 and one for $59. i got the $59 model. i think they are 9w and 18w IIRC. not all petsmart stores carry them, had to order mine online
 
in the past with green water blooms I have always found massive water changes never worked.

probably because massive WC give lots of nutrients (via tap water) and Oxygen..hte algae blooms right back again.,

small daily water changes of 10% and no lighting worked for me..

either that or a diatom filter will clear it up overnight...
