Only way to keep uglies under control is low nutrients. IMO a uv light will do nothing for algae. Uv uses a combination of intensity and dwell for effectiveness and neither of these are high enough in the off the shelf lights to eradicate multicellular organims. Even unicellular is debatable. IMHO they are a useless placebo for the reefer.
