Love cocos & feathers, have a bunch in my big tank. Mine do really well with phyto dosing.

Soo a quick update.
The algae is just going out of hand even if I am scraping the glass every single day.
I did some reasearch and I'm deciding if I should get a small UV sterilizer in my HOB filter.
Do you guys think I should?
It's only like $10 with some DIY
