Ok, I’ll bite on this one. I would have to say it makes it dirtier.
The UV light will clear up the water itself but not remove contaminants like a plant would and Algae being a plant,massive amounts of tinny plants in your water should remove more contaminants and oxygenate the water than a filter alone.

I am using Ehfisubstrate in both trays. In the top tray there are also a handful of ceramic rings mixed in. Bayshore water is a little on the hard side but usually never changes. I have a fire station on the next road so the are constantly opening up the hydrants to […]
Rebecca, what kind of fountain pump did you have before? Did you have that pump sitting right on the bottom of the pond, or sitting on some type of platform? If your pond bottom is really loose muck, you might want to sit your replacement on top of a […]
What time of day did you test the pH? Was it first thing in the morning? Was it later in the day? Do you have any other test results for ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, GH, KH?
We went through this recently with someone else so yours may be the same situation.
Do you have live plants […]

Me too, I mean he is neat to watch and stuff, but I don’t want to take chances that he will get hungry and grab an unsuspecting cichlid…

I just don’t have a set up for him at all, I […]

As the various smaller Danio species will interbreed, its possible you have a long-fin Zebra Danio — Pearl Danio cross. Without being able to see a photo of this fish, it also sounds from your description that it could be the rather new ZD Glo-Fish with its added anemone gene. […]
Hi, Getting a 50 gallon tank is a good idea. 10 gallon tanks are only beginner tanks because of the cost. A 50 gallon tank will be much easier to maintain than a 10 gallon tank is. That may sound funny.. Its very true. Your snails are a good problem. They cling to the tank […]
Hi,
Wow!…It was very nice of you to take time out and reply to my concerns. 1) I do not know the name of the grass, however I will call the aquarium store Monday to inquire. (They are closed on Sundays). 2) Description of snails: Brown. Activity: They seem to […]
