I ended up getting the UV Sterilizer hooked up to a powerhead, and I have some before and after pictures. This is what a UV Sterilizer did for my tank!

For great educative purposes here, this could help many to come, do you know or have suspicion's as to what the cause of that was? How long was it like that & how long did it take get like that. What other thing's did you try before going w/ your UVS. Also, will you be running your UVS 24/7 or just as needed. You have a beautiful tank, the setup is really nice, what brand is your tank & if you don't mind, approx. how much did you give for the it up there in Washington? Thanks for your info & time.

It started by a lot of algae showing up on the glass and then the water got to the point of where you see the pic within two weeks. Before the UV I tried turning the lights off for a couple of days but no luck. I do in fact run my UV 24/7, because i read on a thread a while back it actually extends the life of the bulb. whether this is true or not i do not know but i decided to believe it. thank you for the comment on the tank, and the brand is all-glass i believe. for the tank, stand, glass canopy and wood canopy it cost me around $1600.JCA;911455; said:I ended up getting the UV Sterilizer hooked up to a powerhead, and I have some before and after pictures.
