    lol, yeah... Star, you'd flip if you saw my tank right now, or hell... just 3 weeks ago! You could barely see into the tank it was so bad, though i hadn't had anything but crabs and snails for about 4 months so didn't care...

    UV's will kill off some/most all of your pods and other little orangism.. Both good and bad, just a thought..

    So why don't you just whip out a mag float or scrubber and brush it off the glass...? haha
