After my DIY CO2 system ( empty Arizone Tea Company gallon jug fitted with air line tubing and a pacaket of yeast) started making a difference (in a week) to all of my plants I got a very unwelcomed byproduct - Algae. Big Time. So after the unreal algae bloom I took matters into my own hands. After some internet research I found that a UV Sterlizer would not only address the algae but also prevent water borne diseases like "Ich". So I found a unit that could be mounted in the tank without the need for an exeternal pump and line plumbing. It's called the Submariner 7 (7W) and after about a week of poeration I found the tank to be clearer than I have ever seen it. I bought it from drsfostersmith. I even bought a spare bulb, when mine came in the bulb was broken and they shipped me another - no charge. This water is what I dreamed about when starting the aquarium.
