Hello everyone I am new to the community and to saltwater tanks in general. I have been researching the necessities and wanted to ask you seasoned reefers a question.
What is your honest opinion on using UV light filters?
Hello and welcome to the channel. We have been in the saltwater fish tanks for over 30 years. Only recently we started using corals and fish. This new tank has been...well, an experience, we had a huge problem with brown algae that would not go away. A friend suggested using a UV so we did. Our tank water volume including the sump is around 60-gallons. We use a 36w UV with Sicce Silent 2.0 pump at approximately 300GPH. Within a few weeks...maybe one month the brown algae is gone but of course, we are dealing with short, tough, green algae.
