Thanks man. None of my videos would upload. It looks like “A” and rotates sideways.

Ok good news and bad....

The bad: these kind are very toxic.... run lots of carbon and change it often if you have any sensitive animals in your tank (lost some corals weeks after i beat mine).

The good: they go in the water column at night... a proper sized UV will rid you of them super quick. Mine were gone in 2 days.

Thank you for your help!

Robert, what size UV did you order and what size is your tank?

It's best if you plumb the UV from and back to the display with a dedicated pump with LOW flow....about 1-3 times the display volume/hour. You should see improvement very quickly as @Sdot said!

Don't worry about making the installation "pretty" yet....it may only be needed for a few weeks! Here's what my down and dirty installation looked like.
