Regular Member Ranchugirl Posted November 8, 2003 Regular Member Share Posted November 8, 2003 Oh, hello, there are fish in the tank!! What a difference! UVs are a great invention, arent they? Your tank looks awsome! Strange, when I finally get around to wash the windows in the house, my dear hubby always says *Look, there is actually a tree outside!* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin koko Posted November 8, 2003 Admin Share Posted November 8, 2003 There not cheep but they help with algae and some paricites in the tank One thing to remember is to change the light in the UV once every 6 months to keep the same strength in the tank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Hidr Posted November 9, 2003 Author Regular Member Share Posted November 9, 2003 Ya it is algea. I had a lot of it. I bought some plant lights and it puts 1000wats of light in that tank and when I put them on the algea went wild. There are other ways to deal with that problem. Less light time ext. But I really like my light on about 12 hours so I can watch my fish so the easiest thing to do was get a UB sterlizer. Ya it cost me 90 for the one I got I could of got a cheeper one but the replacement bulbs were more, this one you can replace the bulb for about 22 and only need to once a year. I know it is pricey but well worth it. My next move is to get one for my 30 and my 20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest spyhawk Posted December 15, 2003 Share Posted December 15, 2003 If any of you are keeping your tanks near a window like the ones in the pictures, you are sure to get algae. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
