Steps make green water
1. Prepare the tank

- Place the tank in full sunlight.
2. Mix fertilizers

- Wait for sediment to settle at the bottom.
4. Add to tank

- Stir well to combine.
6. Sunlight & stirring
- Leave the tank in strong sunlight for about 5 days.
- Stir the water frequently.
- The water will gradually turn green.
7. If ammonia smell appears
- Use aeration (air pump / oxygen blower) to remove the smell.
- Avoid adding too much fertilizer.
Important Tips
- Do not add too much fertilizer — it can cause ammonia spikes.
- Strong sunlight helps algae grow faster.
- Light green color is ideal. Dark green means too concentrated.
- Aeration helps keep water healthy.
