View Full Version : UV Filter - Recommendations?

Can anyone recommend a UV filter for a 33gallon tank? I'm looking to keep
costs low, but I want it to work!
Thanks!

Scott,
Why are you needing a UV for on a 33 gallon Goldfish tank?
A lot of people around here have had good luck with the Tetra UV's and you
can get a 9watt from them that is not too expensive. $79 to $100 dollars is
about the cheapest price that you are going to pay for a UV sterilizer. In
addition get, one of the micro-pumps and use it exclusively on the UV
sterilizers. These micro pumps are small and don't take up much room inside
the tank.
Look at the www.DrsFosterSmith.com for these items, you probably won't find
them any cheaper anywhere else.

Thanks for your reply. I'm looking for a UV for my tank due to a bloom of
floating algae (it's been a problem since December, and I've had enough).
The water has millions of tiny, white floating things. From an angle, the
water in the tank is very green. I thought it was biobugs, now I am
convinced it's not.

floating white things with or w/o algae is an indication that there is something very
wrong in your tank. If you dont do something about the cause (too many fish, too
little water, too small filter, gravel loaded with organics, high nitrates, scraping
algae off the side of the tank) you will remove the algae that is now cleaning up
the water and making it reasonably safe for the fish. Even when overstocked, my bare
bottom tanks dont have algae or shifting white clouds unless something has happened
to the biofilter. Ingrid

Scott,
Your KH could be a little bit higher, so don't let it get much below the
reading you are dealing with now.
Before you spend the money on a UV device, trying rooting some Philodendron
vines in your aquarium. The fish won't eat them and they do very well in
low light and aquarium water. I use them to control nitrates in my aquarium
environments. Also your nitrites should be around zero, so you may want to
add an air stone to the aquarium. It certainly won't hurt and it may help
some. Just remember that if you put some philodendrons in your water of the
aquarium, just dangle a 6 to 8 inch section of the stem in the water. You
can take the dirt off a vine that is all ready rooted in dirt, just make
sure you clean the root very well with fresh water and consider it takes a
couple of weeks for the root system to adapt to a water environment.

Is that what people typically call a "Veggie Filter" ?
Should you use a floating basket on the inside of the tank to
house the vine roots? Will any type of Philodendron work?

Kodiak,
Some people I know have actually set up another outside powerfilter and put
only the philodendron plant in it for the water to circulate around, which
could probably be referred to as a Veggie filter. Personally, I just put a
net bag around the roots and put the roots bag in the tank and let it grow.
Eventually the root tendrils will leave the holes of the net bag and hang
into the tank, but for me that is fine. I also have an airstone on the
bottom near the vertical rise that is close to the bag to assist in water
flow over and through the roots.

Say your tank was 18" high, if instead of 8" section of the stem in the
water,
you would put 19" of stem in the water and plant the roots directly in the
gravel,
do you think it would work? Assuming of course the vine is very long and
hangs mostly on the outside of the tank.

Just be sure not to be putting any soil in that there tank of yours
or Ingrid will freak-out! And for good reason.
I once put two inches of soil on the bottom of my five gallon spherical
aquarium, a round layer of cheese cloth and then a perforated, coiled tube
ug filter (Powerhead 305) all covered with gravel.
I was trying to grow cyperus grass. I had mixed success.
The gf was fine but it took months to get the tea coloured water clear!
The cyperus it turns out preferred just gravel.
What a mess to clean up!
Cheers,
Tom.
