UV, na. i never understood the need for a UV in an aquarium. i have one on my pond as this outdoors and can get green water. but ive never had a UV on any tank and ive never had green water, and ive had fish tanks since i was old enough to eat boogers
You have snails!!! pick them out and put them in your 30g or some other tank, let them clean off your tank well, and let them explode in population then give them to me so I can feed my Fahaka lol.
yeah man i dont know where all these snails come from! i swear i didnt see them when i was planting this stuff 
ill put them in the 30g. i dont know crap about snails - is there such thing as "bad" snails for a planted tank?

More than likely, you had some eggs or snails already in the plants when you got them. They tend to be almost microscopic/clear so you wouldn't have noticed them.
BTW, are you going to have a cleaner crew in there? I really suggest hitting up someone for some cherry shrimp or minami's (all the same species, just different strains) or if you can get your hands on them (for a good price) amano shrimp.
If you want any suckers in there, go with Otto's as they don't get big, and won't start feasting on wood/plants, tend to chomp down any algae you'll have.
All of the above look cool in the tank as well (minus snails if you don't like them)
Let those snails grow out and let me know if they are MTS or Ramshorn. I'll take em both though! lol.

haha orgies 
yeah i want to get some shrimp too, but i dont know what kind. ive seen some reds ones that are cool, cherry's i think? ive seen the amano's, they look cool too but it feels like im paying for a name brand shrimp lol!!
dont know much about shrimp either, what about the cheapo shrimp they sell at LFS, ghost shrimp? are those any good?
do they sell the cherry's anywhere locally? they seem so delicate id be nervous getting them shipped to me. and yeah, im planning on having a bunch of ottos as well.
