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.
