I believe that UV is only effective against suspended algae, i.e. green water. It will not prevent the algae that grows on your glass or plants, or décor in the tank.

Kate, It has already been established that 1/4″ plywood is not strong enough to support the 30 gallon tank rigidly enough. While the 1/2″ plywood you’ve decided on may hold this tank evenly right now, you need toi consider several things about plywood — and especially plywood that is under the stress of a […]
I’ve always fed them some sinking pellets when I feed the rest of the tank, so I don’t think that was the issue. They used to swim laps around the tank in the top 1-2 inches of water, they don’t do it at all anymore.

It’s not so much the bottom as it is that fourth side (or the two ends if you put the tank in the middle). Most tanks, that have a bottom frame, do not really need the bottom of the tank (glass) supported except on the outside edges where the glass itself is supported by […]
No, I don’t think your Corys were surfacing for any carbon (CO2) from the air. Maybe they were swimming up to the top to be able to see out the tank? (with all that algae on the glass.. lol) I’m glad the Excel might be helping with your algae.
Did you use to […]
Okay I just wanted to make sure I shouldn’t be worried or something, the only change I’ve done is the flourish excel being added. The plants are already putting off new leaves, so they’re definitely happier with the flourish excel in the tank.

I’d probably use a single piece of wood cut to fit the stand and appropriately stained or painted, and the height of the edging, if there is one, or 1/2″ thick, to cover the top of the stand. This will help ensure that the weight of the tank is equally distributed on all edges of […]
Okay after using the flourish excel for several days now I can already see an improvement in the growth of the plants and a lot less hair algae is left in the tank, so the flourish is doing something right I still notice that my cory’s no longer swim up at […]
it is a metal stand that is too long for the tank hence the need to put plywood under it as it has just a metal ledge to hold the edges of the tank nothing supporting the glass bottom. so i need to put plywood under the tank but on the ledge the […]
