My 90 gallon is green as hell. Don't know what's going on. Any tips? Suggestions?

My water is green.

My guess is either algae caused by lights or high nitrates. I'd do a couple of large water changes and observe

Agree with the above, you probably keep your lights on too long, or have sunlight hitting the tank, in tandem with not enough water changes.
We've done two 50% water changes and there's only 2 2" salvinis, a 5" Texas, and 4" flowerhorn in there. Will the fish be alright?

If the algae bloom is from excess lighting and you don't want to or can't decrease the lighting, you can run uv filtration.
I can decrease lighting. I was thinking leaving the light off all day tonight and tomorrow?

They should be fine. I've done consecutive large water changes without ill results

You'd need to reduce the lighting overall. I only run my lights maybe a total of 5-6 hours a day any longer and I get algae build up all over tank

My 120 is on the same amount as my 90 and has direct sunlight sometimes and has never had this problem. May be time for a timer.
