So i didnt get the uv sterilizer yet because i tried something else first. I completely emptied the tank, washed the tank, gravel and filter. I also changed the filter pad and bought new fake plants. Then i took 20 gallons of water from my SA/CA Cichlid tank and put it in the community tank. That was four days ago.

You'd better take some filter media from your cichlid tank too! If you totally washed down everything and replaced your filter pads you removed all of your beneficial bacteria
