I currently have a large 55 Gallon Tank with two Tetra 30-60 Power Filters. I have large fish (Oscar & Pacu) and a Red Tail Shark and 2 Plecos. I change my filters every 2 weeks (that would be a total of 4 filter cartridges since each filter holds two catridges). I also have to do a 50% water change EVERY WEEK since I have large fish in my tank. They are fed twice a day (once when I wake up and then again at night when I get home from work) but they aren't given a large amount of food. I use my water conditioner as directed, I also add salt to my water as well. And yet, my water will stay clear for a few days after the water change, but then it rapidly turns green within the week, and it's hard to see my fish in the tank! I heard that I need to leave the light off for a few days. Will this work? I only have the tank lights on during the day while I'm at work, and then I turn them off before bed. Even with that said, the lights are on more than they are off.
