A UV sterilizer will only eliminate free floating algae but will not eliminate algae growth on glass, decor etc. It will help with water clarity and prevent parasites/bacteria depending on flow rates running through it.

Yup. Save your money and buy a mag float. At least u won't have to get your hands wet from scrubbing

Ya why not? I don't see a problem with it. I usually just leave the algae growth on the rocks unless it gets out of control then I clean it.
