Green micro suspended algae

I recently had a micro algae bloom in my 160 gallon african
Cichlid tank. I used Joeys idea of the DIY water polisher and
man oh man it literally is filtering out micro green algae !!! I
have blacked out the light source in my aquarium room and
currently using the polisher and in 24 hours the algae filled
water has reduced by half ! I am still amazed ! I also have been
doing 25% water changes daily and that is taking care of the
dying algae. My tank is looking soooo much better ! Also I added
prothos Ivey to the top of my overflow to absorb extra nutrients
out of my tank. Hopefully with all the new mods I have made my
tank will have a speedy recovery :-)
