I added the 11W AquaShield to my back chamber. I also did numerous other steps, including 2 to 3 times a week I manually removed as much algae as I could find, additional cleanup crew, dosing phyto and copepods, and adding a tailspot blenny. Hard to say if anything specific did the most work, or if it was a combination, or if it was just a matter of letting the tank mature, but I keep the UV filter in the back chamber because I don't see it hurting anything.

Nice to see work and perseverance pay off
