coralline algae? isn't that the nice purplish pink stuff that people *want* on their rocks? or are you referring to the green and brown crap that constantly needs to be scraped off the tank glass? either way, the UV doesn't really have any impact.

UV is primarily for killing parasites and bacteria, and even then the effectiveness varies greatly depending on the brand, size and flow rate of the steriliser.

as for the algae, normal lighting in your tank (in terms of intensity and photoperiod) are what makes it grow. I use turbo snails to combat algae growth, and clean the glass often.

Be teachable always, nobody has a monopoly on wisdom. But learn to distinguish "fact" from "opinion".

      TRUSTED CRYPTO CURRENCY RECOVERY EXPERT//FOLKWIN EXPERT RECOVERY.

      The sting of betrayal is a cruel mistress. It can leave you reeling, questioning your judgment, and feeling utterly vulnerable. This is precisely how I felt when I fell victim to a binary trading scam. The promise of lucrative returns, and a comfortable retirement, all those dreams I had meticulously built for decades crumbled under the weight of deceit. I had entrusted my hard-earned savings to a company that promised the moon, only to find myself in a desolate wasteland of broken promises and financial ruin. The company, a viper disguised in a suit of legitimacy, vanished into thin air, leaving me with nothing but shattered dreams and a hefty debt. The betrayal cut deep, a wound that festered with anger and despair. I sought solace in the digital world, hoping to find a path to recovery. I immersed myself in forums and online communities, searching for a solution, a glimmer of hope in the abyss of my despair. My research led me to countless tales of woe, stories that echoed my pain.
