ya pretty much if it is a mini-cycle it should only last a max of 7 days... and you should be in the clear.

UV Lights are great for getting rid of algae bloom

[sanchez07]

can someone please help me out with some suggestions, its been pretty much two weeks now and water is still green I have removed pretty much all the rock and other things and have done another water change

green water means your tank has too much nitrate. Did you check for nitrate level in your tank? Also, green water is still way better than cloudy water which can be a bacteria bloom that shows your tank didn't cycle through enough. I want to say put water plants in you tank, but your fish would probably tear them up. Try limit light, do frequent water changes 15-20% every other day, and see if that works, and also, put more charcoal in your tank.

Good luck, and tell us about the tank.

Do a water change, about 30%. Go to the store, buy a phosphate pouch, or something like that. There's one called phosX. Give it a week. Clear tank.

Judging by your op, it sounds like you're overstocked and underfiltered. What brand and model are the 2 filters that you're running?

 

[sanchez07]

my filters are aqua clear ones a 70 and ones a 30

have you tried limiting light and doing more water changes? how is the water now?
