1)I heard that it helps clear your water...
So that's why i wanted to get one..
I am building a stand in my garage where i am going to put 8 29GAL Aquariums
2 coral tank ( With Live rock + Live Sand )
4 fish only tank ( With Live rock + Live Sand )
2 reef tank
The filtration System will be all conected to each other....
I will have a Litle Giant Inline Pump For the return of the water to all of them
and thr drainage of the tanks will be all connected down to my sump
here is a design of the setup in my garage. http://s62.beta.photobucket.com/user/jsbarjon/library/

Both ozone and UV can have benefits to better clarity in your water, but both have dissadvantages also:
1.) Ozone can be quit dangerous to your tank and even to you if not used properly
2.) UV does kill what passes through it clearing your water, but can also kill beneficial stuff also.
I myself am using UV, as it isn't dangerous to me or my family, I only run it for an hour at a time 3 times a day, works very well for me, and I am not really having much of a problem of it also killing my pods, etc.
