UV Sterilizer

[Meara]

Hello everybody;

I’m looking for information about UV Sterilizers. I have recently gone through a ich nightmare, (I am in Canada and there is limited medication available it was truly brutal) and I am looking for things that may help me avoid this going forward. I was wondering if anyone has experience using these? I have a lot of questions and I would love to hear any of your thoughts about them.Or if you know of a good website that I might be able to check out I would be thrilled.

How do they work?
Why do they work?
Will they kill my pods?
Will they really kill ich?
Why do they go on the return (after the filter,protein skimmer, refugium) and not before?
Is there any effect on the fish?

Please share your thoughts and experience as I would love to hear them. I am looking forward to any information you can share

Thank you

Several BRS (Bulk Reef Supply) and Marine Depot videos will answer all of your questions. Plan on watching about an hour to an hour and a half’s worth of videos and you should have all the bases covered— from theory, to installation. Best wishes!
