No issues with clarity since the UV filter. For $20 (on Amazon), it should almost be part of start-up aquarium kits!

Added a UV sterilizing light to the HOB filter at the beginning of July and my water is super duper clear now. Amazing!
Quite green recently. I attribute this to not having the sponge filter on for x2-3 days. (Betta didn't seem to appreciate the bubbler, so reduced back to single output and forgot to plug back in).
Surprisingly clear this morning. Didn't even add any clarifier, carbon, nor bio cleaner last night.
The molly was acting unusual today. having issues swimming upright and taking frequent rests (where it looked dead) on the bottom or other items in the tank. Upon review, was likely swim bladder? I removed it from the tank (as in, it's dead now).
Water has been so much clearer since adding the sponge filter to the tank.
So much green algae today! Did a large water change and made some filter changes/add-ons. Fingers crossed I don't mess up my cycle (though my ammonia was a touch high today).
Set up an air pump with bubble stone today!
Intake fell off overnight after last water change. Ended up losing one of the mollies and a couple neons. Purchased more neons to a current total of x6.
Only noting x4 neons the last couple days. Cotton-fin neon still remains.
