over filtration... but you can always use charcoal

Don't forget water changes, and keeping sunlight to a minimum (This is my guess as to why yours is greenish)

You sound like you have an algea bloom in your water... which is different. More water changes and less light will be your friend here. Keeping them crystal is lots of mech filtration and filter floss.

Green cloud= algae bloom. You are either overfeeding, having too much light haven't done enough water changes, or all of the above. For keeping water crystal clear, it just take the right filtration. For floating particles, that means mech filtration.

its not cloudy i can see thought it its just the water is green, no floating particals ether

i think ur problem is, u go by "40gal filter on a 10gal".... u have a 10gal tank, go get a 100+gph filter with good bio space. get an aqua clear filter or something. green tinted water is ugly.
