UV Sterilizer

[laurenrocksth]

I am considering a UV sterilizer for my 55 that's having an outbreak of green water. What is a good but inexpensive brand? I don't need top of the line... I just want it to clear up my water

I have found the turbo twist models to be great.

if it is algae there are chemicals out on the market that may be cheaper than buying a whole new filter/sterilizer!!!

 

[laurenrocksth]

what chemicals are those? are they harmful to plants?

Stay away from chemicals.

Petsmart even sells some inexpensive 9watt Uv unit for 39.99. But if you dont wanna spend that much, there are safer options floating around this forum.
