I had an algea bloom when i first started my 65, put in a 9w uv. It helped to reduce and control it. You will get many opinions on this issue, I will always have one on hand just in case just my 2 cents.

hey I'm in Red Deer, new to this forum and new to saltwater. I've been keeping freshwater for a few years now and I'm now wanting to start a saltwater tank. I recently purchased a 220 gallon tank and I'm wanting help/advice on setting up filtration like sumps or canisters. Anyway any help you can offer would be great
