adding a UV flouresent from home depot

[aussiefishy]

i have a customer at the store telling me they added a "blacklight" strip from homedepot and have very good results with brown algae... any thoughts on that?

What does good results mean? They were able to grow it well? Or?

Jeez, I assume that means the brown algae went away, but, I thought brown algae was either diatom algae or a dinoflagellate. Neither should be affected by a black light. Folks do try some unique things on their tanks.
