CLEAR and CLEAN water for African Cichlids: Managing nitrates and algae in your fish tank (Part 1)

Nitrates and algae are often an issue in African Cichlid tanks and can ruin the clarity of the aquarium water. So what options are there other than water changes, plants, and low light? In this video I discuss and set up two options that are not as commonly spoken about: chemical filtration and ultraviolet lighting.

Timestamps:
1:39 - What are nitrates?
3:00 - Options for managing nitrates
4:54 - Chemical filtration - Seachem Purigen
9:47 - UVC for algae water - Green Killing Machine
12:23 - Picking up the UVC from Tech Den Aquarium Store
17:33 - The plan!

Part 2 results coming soon (let me know if there's anything else you want me to extend on/include in Part 2)
