Hey everyone! I’m just wondering what your opinions are on using a uv sterilizer in your aquarium.
move had amazing results but, I wonder the negative effect it may have on the tank and coral specifically.

thanks all!

results below.
#1. day one. Very very cloudy and glass being cleaned several times a day.
#2. Day three. Speaks got its self.

Have the same one on my waterbox 110.5. Will never run it without it. I use it for algae. It helped with dinos and I hardly have to clean my glass also a plus is the clear water

UV, never leave home without it.

Not really an emergency.

UV sterilizers kill off stuff in the water column. Some of that stuff is beneficial. You'll probably have a decrease in copepods, since all the phyto will have died. It shouldn't directly harm the corals, since the sterilizer should be isolated in such a way that it doesn't shine on anything except an isolated portion of water.
