I run 2 UV sterilizers in my 75G and I will never setup another tank without one.

You just have to submerge them and plug them in.

You'll have to post some pics of the new tank. What size did you get? Glad you found a solution to your problem... gotta love technology

quick questions on the 24w system

how is this added to the tank .. aka how is it hooked up .. would you need anything else .. or does it just plug in and sit in the tank .. the information that is on the pestmart site is annoying at best

it all hooks together in a nice lil package put in the tank then plug in and go

If you heavily plant the tank it's harder for the algae to grow because it can't compete with the plants for food.

this is completely 100% false. most algae problem take place in planted tanks. especially when you start messing with intense lighting, co2, and nutrients. when everything is balanced, no algae will be present. if something is out of whack between your lighting/co2/ferts, you will get algae. more plants will not take care of the problem.

and most of the time the problem is not enough ferts and/or too much light and/or not enough co2
