The results blew me away. This was not some high end ultra nuclear UV unit. Just a $95 all-in-one (pump and UV) drop in canister model.

U/V can do wonders in certain situations!

When I used to install and maintain water features and ponds I wouldn't run one without a U/V!

Not a fan of uv but nice to know it works.

@cephalotus: I have to ask, since I am a UV newbie: Why don't you like UV?

**cephalotus** · 12-09-2010, 10:29 AM

To keep it simple UV basicly sterilizes your entire water column, killing all good and bad organisms.

But it seems like there's a lot of people who use it.... is it more on the "fish only" side than for a reef?

Its just a matter of oppinion, I was expecting some backlash. Yes they do seem to be more popular on fowlr tanks. But I have seen nice reefs with UV.

I've used a uv sterilizer on my reef tank since day 1

Lots of people do and they can be great apperantly. I just do not like to kill all my reef food.
