    Killian,

    Algal blooms may be caused by increase in lighting intensity, but most likely it is caused from excess nutrients in the water column. Have you tested your water quality since the water became green? I would check it for Ammonia, Nitrite, Nitrate, and Phosphates.

    What inhabitants do you have in your tank?
