In my tank, it took about a couple of weeks after I installed the UV before the Acros stopped STN'ing. You lost your Acros during a period of time when your UV was not installed or was just set up. So I think and I hope the UV will help you. Of course, getting RO is a good idea too. Though, RO didn't help for me during the first 5 years that I used it.
