Hey chap!

First of all do the water test! Pay special attention to phosphates! High levels may suggest algae bloom! Another thing is food. I've checked the link you have send:

Enhances the full spectrum of your fish`s color
Color enhancers/immune response boosters are mainly vitamins, vit B12! Can you check what is the level of different vitamins (written on the box) and post it?! Please focus on vit. B12! Why ?! It contains cobalt (cyanocobalamine)! Cobalt in ionic form can form lots of colorful salts with the components of marine water! These salts can be purple,blue and even green depending on composition and concentration! That could be another, alternative explanation of green color and the fact it doesn't disappear although You use active carbon! Carbon is very good against organic pollutions that can be easily adsorbed at its surface! The pollutant in this case would be inorganic! This would require an extensive carbon treatment!

Cheers!
