how come u guys tend to overdose then underdose?

this r some ways to fight greenwater
1) blackwater (3-4, totally darkness.. cheapest but yr plants will suffer, no feeding during this period)
2) UV (most expensive, run till the water clears up)

erm.... you need to stick your CO2 reactor to a powerhead/pump/filter. if not, you are just wasting the CO2.
