To risk sounding like a broken record...

Uv sterillisers have helped me combat algae problems when i didnt want to
use phosphate removers, unecessary chemicals that do more worse than good,
or extra fish, that add to stress on your bio filter if you have reached the
limits of your tank...

trust me....i have crystal clear water...better than any chemical would do!

I use a product called algone.

Been happy with it. Our water has high phosphates causing brown and green
algae and this product really helps control it.
