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
