Mine doesn't even clear up after a water change! I'm going to seriously think about getting the UV thing even though I can't find any cheap ones around 
Would This Be Better??

From what I've seen the exterior ones are a lot more. I just don't get where in the tank I would put it if I can't look at it lol... ??theunytedone;4450067;4450067 said:
The internal mounted one is just the one I recommended because it is a plug and use item. The external ones have to be used in line of a pump (like for a sump or canister filter), they have no pump of their own, unlike the internal one I mentioned. If you have a sump, canister filter or are ok with setting up a dedicated pump loop just for an external one, that will work also. But, not everyone does.
As I said before, I got mine on ebay for less than half of retail. Here is the exact one I got
They are used a lot in saltwater but can have a LOT of great results for FW too. After the first one I got, I vowed to never setup a tank without one again!
EDIT: here is an external one, which has the option to get the full kit to set it up off a power head. It is a bit more, but not much.
I have never use that one, or purchased from that seller, so can not say for sure. But, it's an option to check out!

Well today I noticed that it looks clearer. I'm going to do a small water change and then let everyone know the progress via this thread. I'm hoping it will clear up so I don't have to spend a lot on it because I'm saving up for a big tank...
Hey Kitty, cut the hose to fit the length you need. I always have to cut mine. Use a pair of plant cutters.
I never thought to cut it haha... it is pretty hard plastic I'd be afraid I'd break it... Oh well, only one way to find out!
How far from the bottom should I make it? The fish like to kick up sand and I'm worried the filter will suck it up and get ruined or something
Bump with clear water 
but I still wanna know how far from the bottom I should have that tube. Oh and 'Water in picture may be crispier than it appears' lol
