Thank you. That's exactly what I wanted to hear.. Is your water
significantly "clearer" since using it?

What model do you have, and would you recommend it?

Thanks,
Troy

Hello,

Is anyone out there running a UV sterilizer in a planted tank?? I'd like
to
hear some thoughts on their value in a planted tank.... I'm having some
algae bloom issues, and I think a UV sterilizer would be a huge help!


I'm running a 15W sterilizer 24x7 on a 150gal tank. A sterilizer is very
effective to get rid of green water, but it won't do anything to combat
any other kind of algae.

Cheers,

Michi.
