Thanks for the replies but I need a sterilizer not a clarifier. Anymore
suggestions would be really appreciated. Thanks again.

To sterilize with UV you need about 1 watt for every 10 gallons and
need to cycle the water through it about once an hour. This is why they
are usually used as clarifiers in ponds. They cause the green algae to
clump together and then they can be filtered out.

There are a lot sold as sterilizers for ponds but they are so
underpowered that they won't make an impact on bacteria.
