Default UV lights.. I'm tired of my green pond!

The size of the uv is best determined by the water flow from your pumps.
Aquatic Eco catalog has a lot of good info on sizing. If your pump is too
strong for the amount of uv you are willing to spring for, get a small pump
to run the uv you get. I have 80 watt uv's for both ponds, but that is due
to the size of the pumps. I have seen ponds of 9000+ gallons cleared with
small 16 or 20 watt units.

I've been trying plants, and barley straw now for over a month, and my

green
hasn't even subsided a little.

Has anyone built a low cost UV light setup, and if they haven't, what size
would I need for a 14'x14' by 2-3 foot deep pond?

Who go the cheapest online prices for these?
