WHAT DO YOU THINK OF UV'S?

[livingwater]

I HAVE A 150G WITH 200LBS OF LR. I AM NOT SURE IF I WANT TO GO TO DEEP IN TO A REEF SET UP JUST YET. I MAY DO A REEF ON A 29G THAT I HAVE LAYING AROUND. I KNOW WHAT UV'S ARE AND WHAT THEY DO. I CAN SEE THE BENEFIT.....WELL WHATS THE DOWNSIDE. IS IT WORH THE MONEY AND WHAT TYPE AND SIZE DO YOU THINK I SHOULD LOOK FOR? I CURRENTLY HAVE A PROTEIN SKIMMER AND A LITLE SEA STORM(BIO FILTER) I HAVE 2 DIFFERENT WET DRYS WITH LR INSIDE. AND I AM STILL LOOK TO GET SOME GOOD FILTERATION...MAYBE BY THE WEEKEND. WATER CONDITION IS GOOD! IF I GO OUT A SPEND $100+ ON A FISH I WANT IT TO LIVE. WHATS UP?

i don't personally like uv's, but i can say(personal opinion aside) that you do not want one on a reef, it kill mostly the things you want, more than the things you don't(believe it or not) especially in a reef system
