      Your tanks are full of phosphate and silicate.

    UV is a must. I personally witnessed the difference it made in my reef tank..

    Hooked up a UV sterilizer on my tank about 2 weeks ago and noticed the effects of it probably hours later. Water is crystal clear. Also, I had to clean my glass every other day of algae and it was getting to me. I have only had to clean the glass once since installing the UV sterilizer.
    I’m not sure if it will help prevent illness from parasites but the juice is worth the squeeze for the improvement in viewing quality of my tank alone along with cleaning the glass less often. That’s good enough for me. I keep a QT tank so not too worried about introducing parasites.

    Good insight, would a UV sterilizer be suitable to help combat fish tuberculosis or Mycobacteria?

    I have a chocolate chip starfish it does a good job removing algae from the glass surface.

    Not having to clean the glass so often is a win for me!

    What's that little tool you're using to kick up the mess? Looks like an air brush tool almost. Was at 7:17

    How many hours a day should you run this for?

    • @BRStv
      @BRStv  2 роки тому +2

      We recommend running a UV sterilizer 24 hours per day

  • @wolfgang7629

    If I set the flow rate of my UV to focus of pathogens does that mean I'd need a separate UV to be efficient against algae?

    • @BRStv
      @BRStv  3 роки тому

      That's correct.

    How does this impact the live phytoplankton I add daily

    • @BRStv
      @BRStv  3 роки тому

      It's probably best not to run your UV if you are dosing living organisms that remain suspended in the water column.

    Did uv safe for coral?

    • @BRStv
      @BRStv  4 роки тому

      UV sterilizers will only affect what passes through them, so they're completely safe for corals.

    I don’t see a need in it at all. Cloudy water is a sign of single cellular algae in the water. Just add filter feeders or wait for them to appear on their own, it will become normal in time.
