I am alway into providing my reef tank with the best preventives I can buy. I always like to try to stay one step ahead of the tanks system. Is ther a good alge preventer that I can run in my sump. I run UV now and will always. Any sugestions.

Why do you run UV in a reef? It can easily kill the plankton and beneficial bacteria that the coral require to grow fast and be healthy.

every one of my reef keeping buds run UV. It kills some of the plankton but not all the plankton. The UV I run is the turbo twist and I run the rater through there at a nice slow pace.

And your skimmer takes out plankton...would you not run one?
