Would appreciate some thoughts and comments from all who'd care to respond regarding the use of UV sterilizers. I've used them for the past couple of years, and like the idea of having something to zap any nasties that might get into the tank, plus, algea? what's algea :)
Anyway, I've tried running mine on timers, and leaving them on 24/7 - haven't noticed any problems from the constant use, but read Bernard Degan's book that he doesn't recommend constant use cause it lowers the fish's natural resistence, which makes sense.
Anyway, would love to hear what others do or think on this issue.
Thanks,
Jim
