UV steralizer
I know for most people it isn't a big deal but I don't like algae
in my tank and for me... It's not just you. Most people hate algae in the tank. That way I can run the lights more than 8 hours a day and I don't have to spend an hour scraping the sides of the tank every other week. Most people don't have UV sterilizers and don't have to spend an hour scraping the tank, either. If your tank is in balance, your algae problems should be minimal. And you should have your lights on more than eight hours a day. Aquarium plants generally need a 12 hour day. You should not go below 10 hours. Too short a photo period can actually help algae, since the plants won't be growing as well as they should. Leigh http://www.fortunecity.com/lavender/halloween/881/ |
