I got a dreaded green algae bloom during the recent very hot sunny
days. Yes, I know I need more planets, etc. but I actually want to see some water and stuff as well, i.e., full coverage is not necessarily exactly what I want. I also want the water clear fast and don't want to wait, haven't seen my fishies in several days. So, I ordered a Tetra UV-3 which seems to be an excellent unit, and I even found replacement bulbs for only $26 here locally in Atlanta from a light bulb warehouse so the cost is not bad at all overall. The question I have is... with the UV zapping the algae, isn't it plausible that the nutrients the algae was eating are going to get eaten by the plants and the plants will grow faster? Also, anyone have a Tetra UV-3 on a large pond (10,000g)? Do you like it / does it work well? |
