get a couple of buckets of your ft water and put them in the sun, you'll have green water in no time..
for my minnow hatches, i just drained a liter out of the buckets and put it in the tank..then put a liter back from the ft into the bucket..i fed 2 55 gallon tanks daily with 2 buckets of green water..
when it started getting cold, i moved my buckets into the basement, added a few (i use kitty litter buckets), so i have 4, under a 4' flourescent light.. 2 of the buckets had the algae die off, but i restarted with what was still going..
after i got the greenwater started, i set up three 5 gallon tanks, seeded with ft water, added green water, they bloomed so i added a rotifer/copepod culture (and later gammarus) easy to suck some bugs and green water out with a turkey baster and feed to the fry...
now all my glass tanks are full of marmokreb crayfish..
