I Disagree with the idea that not providing uv will correct this problem. Algae growing in your tank can also be a result from the water being too "nutritious". Leftover food, feces, and even the water quality can result in algae growth. To keep your gator enclosure clean, it takes more than just restricting light (which doesnt make sense to me imo) because lets face it, gators are filthy reptiles. The best way to keep it cleaner longer (though im not giving a specific time frame) is to utilize a large canister filter, and a uv sterilizer would help with the algae growth. The idea of just cutting out the uv lighting sounds backwards to me when caring for gators, and using a heater in the water would only encourage algae growth.
