Green water post DSM

I recently filled my 36 gallon cube after a 4 month DSM. I figured it would get cloudy while cycling, but not a raging case of green water. I have no fish in the tank so I can blast it with C02 or whatever to combat this menace.

This is commonly known as GreenWater, you could do a Black out, Diatom Filtering, UV Sterilization, Live Daphnia, or use Chemical algaecides/flocculents but I don't recommend that as much as the others.

UV Sterilization I am leaning toward.
