Do you use the UV sterilizer with a reef tank? Or just FO.

 

[helpme74]

for now it's a fish only but it's going to be a reef tank

Most UV sterilizers really don't work as efficiently as they claim. I would never use a UV sterilizer on a reef...it kills beneficial organisms too. Set up a QT tank .

Not it doesn't......It might kill very little, and it is perfectly safe to use on a reef setup......Alot of people believe it's a good cure for ick as well, but it's not.....
