Am I the only one who hasn't mentioned the obvious? Your fish load. I'm no expert on JDs but isn't 8 really crowding such a tank? I also thought that a 55 gallon could hold only 1-2 JDs at max.

I believe your fish load is too high, thus causing a huge imbalance in your tank... especially in terms of nitrates (and ammonia if your biofiltration isn't good enough). Check the ammonia, nitrite and nitrate levels of your tank.

Joe, was it you that posted the drastic before and after pics of green water in your tank? That is what sold me on getting a diatom filter. .....
Someone posted pics of their Vortex "before and after" pictures. Here's a link I know of... Vortex.
