Curiousity has got the better of me... why do you want green water might I ask? There must be some use for it that I am not aware of...

The organic waste becomes nitrogen
the nitrogen becomes green water
the green water becomes little critters
the little critters become little fish
the little fish become big fish
the big fish become organic waste......

Re: needing green water

i have a pond(a kiddie pool) outside that i am using to soak drift wood in till it sinks(its taking a while lol but its getting there) and its full of green water, but like freak said all you need to get it put a big tub of water outside and either leave it be for a week or so in direct sunlight and maybe throw some feeder comets in there( one for every 5 to 10 gallons) and you should be set.

Re: needing green water

I had trouble keeping daphnia in my hard tap water. I eventually ended up with moina in rainwater. They stay in plastic half drums in the yard and eat green water. I remember feeding the daphnia yeast.

I've tried yeast, but it's very difcult to keep them alive
