My water is clear ,there is just green algae growing on the glass. Had a pleco that kept it kinda under control but it started sucking on one of my bichirs so I removed it. Will a UV sterilizer fix this? I also have hair algae (I think) brownish/maroon growing on driftwood and even worse my anabius leaves. Help please Thanks

UV will control green water, not stuff growing on glass and wood. Your tank is getting too much light and the algae is out-competing your plants.
