Hey Ned

I have a 24" 20 gallon tank with a 24 watt bulb that's on about 6 hours a day. There are no real plants in the tank so the light is only for seeing the fish.

About 2 weeks after I clean the tank a lot of brown algae appears on also everything.

Do you have any products that will kill off the brown algae and keep it away? Would a UV sterilizer kill off the brown algae?

you don't need a UV...
it wouldn't work on algae any way (only green water phytoplankton)
just buy a pleco or oto cat from Uncle Ned's

we have nice widemouth plecos now for $8 each
oto cats for $2.65 each
nice yellow bushnose plecos small $12 large $16
many others

Thanks for the reply, Ned! Can you tell me how big those plecos get, and are they suited for a 20 gal. tank?

I should be dropping down your way over this weekend.

Thanks again!

we have nice widemouth plecos now for $8 each max 5"
oto cats for $2.65 each max 2"
nice yellow bushnose plecos small $12 large $16 females 3" / males 5"

Get more light.
The brown algae vanishes once you get the green algae growing...and it looks much better.

Go with 2 watts per gallon and your brown algae will be gone.

Hey Ned

Do you still have those widemouth plecos in stock? I couldn't make it down a couple of weeks ago but I'll be down this Saturday unless we get a snow storm. Now there's no chance of that happening, is there???

I have at least 10 widemouth plecos in stock...
and many other species also...
Snow in New England?
before Thanksgiving?
Un heard of!
