Phosphates cloudy aquarium water

This is my 90gal. I have been battling cloudy white water that turns green in about 5 days. I have talked to all the local shops and have followed there advice. Reduced my feeding, turning my lights off during the day, establishing biological bacteria, this conditioner and that one. None of them worked. The cloudy water returned every time. I finally read an article that talked about phosphates. BINGO! I have all the symptoms and everyone is shocked it's on a freshwater tank. They still say I am over feeding.

Fluval phosphate remover works great

@letmeshowuhow2stunt I like that and Phoszorb. I get a good three months out of it but since removing the carbon I haven't had much of an issue

@gthisgirliswild Aggravating isn't? I did a followup video and located where the phosphates were coming from. I first eleminated the over feeding and to much light possibility. It was the carbon. Even tried phosphate free carbon ( which means they didn't add any doesn't mean it doesn't have any ). I run phosphate absorbers when needed, removed the carbon, and added a uv light that sped up the clearing of the water. Hope this helps. Let me know how it turns out, Check out my other video.

@MrHoney2U well actually all my fish died, all I did was a 70% water change and they all started to gather in a corner like if they couldn't tolerate the water and in 10 all died, 1 angel, 4 guoramis, 2 sword tails, 4 neon, only survivor was my pleco :D
