Thanks bro, will be adding in a common pleco to help with the Algae, if not enough will add a Feifeng too. Was thinking of getting an internal UV filter but read online that it will only clear green water and not algae on glass, so I'm abit uncertain whether to get a Internal UV filter or not

You are right that uv filter doesn't stop algae on glass. I have uv filter in my outdoor tank to help clear green water but still has lots of brown algae on glass. You need a big Pleco or FF to help u clear algae on glass.

My indoor tank with lights on 24/7 doesn't have uv filter and my FF is doing a good job in clearing algae on glass. No need uv filter cos no green water.

Suggest you monitor first and install uv filter when there is green water issue.
