Hello all,

I'm thinking of attaching a UV to my 55 gal. temporarily whilst I deal
with an outbreak of brush algae (SAEs, Amano shrimp manually cleaning
rocks, etc.) Since I use aquaclear filters, there is no canister system
into which it can be fitted. In truth, I would prefer that it be a
"stand alone" system so I can relocate it to a marine tank once the
algae is under control.

What can I use to prefilter the water and how can I rig it up? Ideally,
I'd like it down to 5 microns to save wear and tear on the UV.
