Nope not really, today got a hang on back filter but is too too noisy planng to return it back. Water is turning green with frequent water change also because no live stock may be soo bought 4 thread fin for this tank today evening.

Have a feeling your green water could be due to ADA. Run some carbon or better purigen and see the effect. Change water weekly and don't clean filter before 15 days approx, or unless it gets choked.
I think Sushant had a similar problem when he got new ADA, may be I am wrong but worth using carbon or purigen, even zeolite will help a lot under this scenario.

Hi Himaksh, if you read through the posts, he has been changing water every alternate day, so the problem of excess nutrients to get resolved by that is some what non existant
